Protection for Those Who Need It Most
Some of the most powerful tools in U.S. immigration law exist to protect survivors of abuse, victims of crime, abandoned children, and people whose home countries have collapsed under crisis. At Status Granted, our humanitarian practice is built around dignity, meeting clients where they are, gathering sensitive evidence with care, and turning painful experiences into successful petitions.
We handle VAWA self-petitions for survivors of abuse by U.S. citizen or LPR family members, U-Visa petitions for victims of qualifying crimes who have helped law enforcement, T-Visa applications for survivors of human trafficking, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status for abused, abandoned, or neglected youth, and Temporary Protected Status for nationals of designated countries.
VAWA, U-Visa & T-Visa Petitions
The Violence Against Women Act allows survivors of domestic abuse, regardless of gender, to self-petition for lawful status without their abuser's knowledge or cooperation. We compile the abuse evidence, joint residence documentation, and good moral character record needed to approve the I-360 petition and lead to a green card.
U-Visa petitions are available to victims of qualifying crimes (domestic violence, sexual assault, felonious assault, kidnapping, and more) who have suffered substantial physical or mental harm and have been helpful to law enforcement. We coordinate with police and prosecutors to obtain the certification (Form I-918B) and prepare comprehensive personal statements that satisfy USCIS reviewers.
SIJS, TPS & Other Humanitarian Relief
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status protects undocumented children under 21 who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents. The process requires a state court predicate order before USCIS will approve the I-360, and we work hand-in-hand with family and probate attorneys to coordinate the timing carefully.
For TPS-eligible nationals, including Venezuela, Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and others, we handle initial registrations, re-registrations, late filings, and travel authorizations. We also file for parole-in-place for military families, deferred action requests, and humanitarian reinstatement of approved I-130 petitions when the petitioner has passed away.
