Immigration

For undocumented survivors of gender-based violence, immigration services are a crucial part of the long-term journey to safety and independence. We offer free immigration law services to people who have experienced gender-based violence.

We are a Department of Justice-recognized provider of immigration services and can assist with a:

• U Visa, a way for non-citizen victims of certain crimes, including gender-based violence, to get legal status in the U.S.
• VAWA self-petition, a way to get the immigration status that an abusive family member could have gotten for you, but did not.
• Battered Spouse Waiver, a way for those who already have a conditional status to continue the process to get legal status in the U.S. without the help of their abusive spouse.
