VAWA (Violence Against Women Act)

Our VAWA service, based on the Violence Against Women Act, is a crucial provision that extends assistance to undocumented individuals who have been victims of domestic violence. This support is specifically designed for eligible individuals who are immediate relatives of U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents. Through a VAWA self-petition, victims can seek legal protection and a pathway to a secure immigration status, independent of their abuser’s knowledge or participation. The objective is to offer a safe haven and a path to independence for those who have suffered abuse and might otherwise fear seeking help due to their immigration status.
