Humanitarian Immigration Options
Immigration law offers protection to people who have faced danger, violence, or abuse. These pathways are designed to keep families safe and give individuals a chance to rebuild their lives in the United States. Each option has strict requirements, but with the right guidance, you can move forward with confidence.
Asylum
If you fear persecution in your home country because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group, you may qualify for asylum.
- • You must apply within one year of arriving in the U.S. (with some exceptions).
- • You’ll need to show evidence of your fear of return.
- • If granted, asylum allows you to live and work in the U.S., and eventually apply for a green card.
We help clients prepare strong, well-documented applications while protecting their privacy and dignity.
U Visa (Victims of Crime)
The U visa is for victims of certain crimes who have suffered significant harm and are willing to assist law enforcement.
- • Qualifying crimes include domestic violence, sexual assault, kidnapping, and others.
- • You must have information that can help authorities investigate or prosecute.
- •Approved U visa holders can receive work authorization and later apply for permanent residence.
We work carefully with survivors to gather evidence while keeping safety at the center of the process.
T Visa (Human Trafficking Survivors)
The T visa provides protection to individuals who were brought to the U.S. or kept here through force, fraud, or coercion.
- •It allows survivors of trafficking to remain in the U.S. and receive work authorization.
- • You may be eligible even if you entered without status or documents.
- • T visa holders can eventually apply for a green card.
Our role is to help survivors present their story clearly and confidentially so they can secure stability and safety.
VAWA (Violence Against Women Act – Self-Petition)
VAWA allows certain spouses, children, or parents of U.S. citizens or green card holders to apply for status without relying on the abuser.
- • You can self-petition for a green card without the abuser’s knowledge or involvement.
- • Qualifying abuse may be physical, emotional, or psychological.
- • Approved applicants can receive work authorization and lawful status.
We approach these cases with sensitivity, ensuring your application is secure and private.
SIJ (Special Immigrant Juvenile Status)
SIJ is for children in the U.S. who cannot return to their home country because of abuse, neglect, or abandonment by one or both parents.
- • Must be under 21 (and unmarried) at the time of filing.
- • Requires a state court order confirming the child cannot reunite with one or both parents.
