Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program allows young people who were brought to the United States without authorization to apply for employment authorization and a temporary legal status. Unfortunately, there are strict eligibility requirements, and DACA itself does not lead to a permanent legal status. DACA holders must renew their status periodically. The renewal process is much simpler than the initial application, if the circumstances of the applicant have not changed.
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
VAWA is a law passed in 1994 to protect victims of domestic and sexual abuse. Among other important things, VAWA offers abuse victims a path toward permanent residency (green card) independent from their abuser. You may qualify for permanent residency under VAWA if you are the victim of abuse perpetrated by a US citizen spouse or ex; US citizen parent; US citizen son or daughter; permanent resident spouse or ex; permanent resident parent. However, if you are in this situation, you may be eligible to apply for a green card through the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act).
Humanitarian Parole
Humanitarian parole is a unique category allowing people who may otherwise be unable to enter the U.S. to do so on relatively short notice. To be eligible for this category, your travel to the U.S. must be due to an emergency humanitarian situation or to promote significant public benefits. For example, we have recently completed humanitarian parole applications for people fleeing the widespread humanitarian crises in Afghanistan, Haiti, and Ukraine. Humanitarian parole can also be used for individual emergencies, such as an immigrant who urgently needs a life-saving surgery that can only be performed in the United States.
Asylum
Many immigrants come to the United States because they are fleeing dangerous situations in their home countries that they cannot return to. You may be eligible for Asylum in the U.S. if you are seeking protection from persecution in your home country due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. To apply for Asylum, you must already be in the U.S. or at a port of entry.
