U.S. immigration law includes several forms of humanitarian relief designed for people who face danger, abuse or extraordinary hardship. These options are often overlooked because they do not depend on a family or employer sponsor.
Our humanitarian immigration lawyers review every available option — Temporary Protected Status, humanitarian parole, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, VAWA, U visas and asylum — and pursue the strongest path for your circumstances.
Situations we help with
Nationals of TPS-designated countries
We file initial and re-registration TPS applications and work permits on time.
Urgent family emergencies abroad
Humanitarian parole may allow a relative to enter temporarily for urgent reasons.
Children without parental support
Young people who were abused, abandoned or neglected may qualify for SIJS after a Pennsylvania or Ohio court order.
Survivors of crime or abuse
VAWA and U visa protections offer independent paths without relying on an abuser.
