Before you continue, please check if this applies to you:
You have experienced physical, emotional, psychological, or financial abuse.
The abuser is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
You don't need to stay silent. There may be a path to legal status—without relying on your abuser.

CONFIDENTIAL CONSULTATION
Have you faced abuse or extreme hardship because of a U.S. citizen or resident?
You may qualify for VAWA or an immigration waiver—even if you:
Entered the U.S. without a visa
Overstayed your visa
Are currently undocumented
Had a previous denial
We help immigrants like you file confidentially, safely, and with dignity.
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) allows immigrants who have suffered abuse by a U.S. citizen or green card holder to apply for a green card without their help or permission.
It’s not just for women—and it’s completely confidential

Immigrants who have been abused by their US Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident spouse or close relative and would otherwise depend on that person to request a Green Card can apply for adjustment of status by themselves.

What is a Waiver?
A waiver helps people fix immigration issues like unlawful entry, overstaying a visa, or past denials. We guide you through the process so you can stay in the U.S. and move forward with your life.
Take the First Step Toward Protection and Legal Status
Are you an immigrant who has suffered abuse from a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident?
You may qualify for VAWA immigration relief—even without their support or knowledge.
To qualify, you must meet VAWA requirements like:
Being the spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen or green card holder
Experiencing physical, emotional, financial, sexual and/or psychological abuse
Showing good moral character
Living (or have lived) with the abuser
