Humanitarian Relief

Protection for survivors of persecution, abuse, and crime, and for those whose home country is currently unsafe to return to.

The United States offers protection to individuals who have faced persecution, abuse, or extreme hardship. We guide clients through humanitarian relief applications, including asylum, U visas for crime victims, T visas for trafficking survivors, VAWA self-petitions for survivors of abuse, and Temporary Protected Status for nationals of designated countries.

Each of these protections has its own eligibility standard and evidence requirements. The pages below cover each one individually so you can find the path that actually fits your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not sure which humanitarian protection applies to me. What should I do?

That's common, and these categories sometimes overlap. A survivor of domestic violence, for example, might qualify under VAWA, a U visa, or asylum depending on the specific facts. The clearest path is a direct conversation where we can walk through your situation and identify which one, or which combination, fits best.

Will applying for humanitarian relief put me at risk?

We understand this is often the biggest concern, particularly for VAWA and U visa cases involving an abuser. These processes include real confidentiality protections built in, and we walk through exactly what to expect before you file anything.
