HUMANITARIAN IMMIGRATION STATUSES
HOW CAN WE HELP?
At Allium Law PLLC, we are well-equipped to assist with humanitarian immigration status cases. Our experienced and empathetic team delves into the specifics of each case, helping clients navigate the complexities of legal processes such as applications for asylum, Temporary Protected Status, SIJS, or U-Visas. Our aim is to provide comprehensive, tailored advice to those seeking protection and refuge, enabling them to secure a stable, safe future in the United States.
SIJS
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is a unique form of immigration relief designed to help certain foreign children in the United States who have suffered abuse, abandonment, or neglect by a parent. This protective provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is particularly vital for children who cannot be reunited with one or both parents due to these adverse circumstances. SIJS paves the way for them to obtain lawful permanent residency, often referred to as a Green Card, in the United States.
At Allium Law, we have a dedicated immigration legal team who is well-versed with the intricacies of SIJS. We understand that the SIJS process can be complex and daunting, particularly for young immigrants who are already dealing with traumatic experiences. Our team is committed to providing compassionate, thorough representation for children seeking SIJS, guiding them through each step of the process.
VAWA
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is another significant piece of legislation that impacts the realm of immigration law. This act was first introduced in 1994 to address domestic violence and sexual assault.

Over time, it has evolved to offer certain protections for immigrants who have been victims of domestic violence, abuse, or extreme cruelty by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. VAWA allows victims to petition for a green card independently, without the need for the abuser’s involvement or knowledge, hence providing a pathway for these victims to escape their abusive situations.
At Allium Law, we work diligently to ensure that our clients feel safe and supported throughout the process, guiding them in gathering the necessary documentation and effectively presenting their case. We are committed to helping victims of abuse navigate the complexities of VAWA to achieve a positive outcome and build a secure life in the United States.
U Visa
The U Visa is a nonimmigrant visa specifically for victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity. The U Visa provides these victims an avenue to stay in the United States and assists law enforcement agencies in their investigations. At Allium Law, we possess deep knowledge of U Visa requirements and process, and our team is determined to assist victims in maneuvering this legal pathway.
Our legal experts walk you through each step of the U Visa application process. From compiling the necessary paperwork to demonstrating your eligibility, we guide you in every phase. This includes proving that you have been a victim of a qualifying criminal activity, that you have suffered substantial physical or emotional harm as a result of this crime, and that you can be helpful to the law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime. We at Allium Law are devoted to supporting victims during this challenging process, providing the guidance and assistance necessary to build a strong U Visa application.
T Visa
The T Visa is another critical tool in the field of immigration law catering specifically to victims of human trafficking. This visa enables victims to remain in the United States and assist law enforcement authorities in the investigation or prosecution of human trafficking cases. The T Visa, thus, serves a dual purpose – it not only provides a platform for victims to escape from the clutches of their exploitative circumstances, but also strengthens the hands of law enforcement agencies in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
At Allium Law, we offer comprehensive support and guidance for individuals seeking a T Visa. We understand the trauma that victims of human trafficking undergo, and our team is dedicated to handling each case with utmost compassion and confidentiality. From gathering the required documentation that illustrates the individual’s trafficking experience to demonstrating their willingness to assist law enforcement, we are committed to facilitating each step of the T Visa application process. Our goal is to ensure the victim’s safety while maximizing their chances of obtaining the T Visa, enabling them to turn a new leaf and establish a secure life in the United States.
Asylum
Asylum law is a critical facet of immigration law in the United States, offering protection to individuals who have fled their home countries due to persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The U.S. government recognizes both affirmative asylum, where individuals not in removal proceedings apply on their own, and defensive asylum, where individuals request asylum as a defense against removal from the U.S.
At Allium Law PLLC, we have extensive knowledge and experience in asylum law, and we’re dedicated to representing individuals seeking asylum in the United States. We understand the dire circumstances and high stakes involved in asylum cases, and we strive to provide comprehensive guidance and steadfast advocacy for our clients throughout the asylum process. From preparing the initial asylum application to representing clients in interviews with asylum officers or in immigration court, we stand with our clients every step of the way, aiming to secure a positive outcome and a safer future for you in the United States.
