We understand that your safety and that of your family are the most important priorities. My firm specializes in providing a firm and compassionate defense so that you do not have to face the system alone.

Primary Programs

There are various programs designed to protect individuals in specific situations of risk or vulnerability:

SIJS (Special Immigrant Juvenile Status): This is a form of immigration relief for minors in the U.S. who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents. It allows them to apply for lawful permanent residency (a green card) if a state court determines that reunification with a parent is not viable and that staying in the U.S. is in their best interest.
U Visa (Victims of Crimes): Designed for individuals who have been victims of certain crimes within the United States (such as domestic violence, assault, or extortion) and who have cooperated with authorities in the investigation.
T Visa (Victims of Human Trafficking): For those who have been victims of human trafficking in the form of sexual or labor exploitation in the U.S. It’s a great tool to acquire legal status. It is a powerful tool and legal status.
VAWA Self-Petition (Victims of Abuse): Allows spouses, children, or parents of United States citizens or permanent residents who have been victims of physical abuse or extreme mental cruelty to apply for legal status without the knowledge or participation of the abuser.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I apply for a U Visa if I did not call the police at the time of the crime?

It is possible, provided that a subsequent report exists and you have cooperated with the investigation. We evaluate your case to see if you still qualify.

What happens if my abuser threatens me with deportation if I report them?

United States law has specific protections (such as VAWA) to prevent abusers from using immigration status as a tool of control. You have rights regardless of your current status.

Does SIJS allow me to work?

Yes, once your application for adjustment of status (Green Card) is filed and pending based on your approved SIJS classification, you are eligible to apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). This permit allows you to work legally in the United States while you wait for your permanent residency.
