Victim Services
If you have suffered abuse at the hands of a spouse, child or parent, you may be eligible to obtain protection under immigration law. Immigration law provides many avenues to safely and anonymously file for status. Don't wait - your life may depend on it.
Under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a person may file for a green card if he or she has been the victim of abuse at the hands of his or her spouse, parent or child of a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. A person may file without the abuser’s knowledge.
If you have been the victim of a qualifying crime, suffered mental or physical abuse and helped law enforcement in the investigation and persecution of the perpetrator, you may apply for U nonimmigrant status. Currently, the backlogs are quite a few years, but this status will allow you to ultimately apply for a green card.
This status allows a person to remain in the United States for a certain period of time if he or she has been a victim of human, labor or sex trafficking. While this status does not lead to a green card, it does allow a person to stay and work in the United States in order to help law enforcement combat such trafficking.
