Our Washington, D.C., Humanitarian Visa Lawyers Tackle Difficult Cases
Humanitarian visas operate as resources that allow victims of abuse, persecution, and international violence to seek safety elsewhere in the world.
There are several different types of humanitarian visas available to international immigrants, as well as additional status and tools that victims can use to seek temporary or permanent residency in the United States.
The legal team with Mendoza Law can help you apply for:
- Violence Against Women Visas, or visas designed to support spouses and children who’ve suffered domestic abuse at the hands of a United States resident
- T Visas, or visas designed for victims of human trafficking
- U Visas, which allow victims of certain crimes to remain in the United States for up to four years after an incident
Each of these visas and the applications for them will require you to submit evidence of the harm brought against you and the continued risk that would plague you if you didn’t seek refuge somewhere else in the world.
Fortunately, working with a Washington, D.C., humanitarian visa lawyer can help you gather the data needed to make your case.

Requesting a VAWA Visa
You may have the right to request a visa under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) if you can prove that you endured domestic violence while benefiting from the act’s protection.
Certain victims, including abused children of U.S. citizens or permanent residents, abused parents of U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and abused spouses can apply for relief.
Immigration relief can specifically separate victims from their abusers in these circumstances. Victims may subsequently apply for legal status separately from their abusers.
You can file a self-petition, securing a Green Card, without assistance from an abuser and without federal parties informing your abuser what you’re doing. You can also contact our team and secure help completing an application while also pursuing protections against further abuse.

Requesting Special Immigrant Juvenile Status
Juveniles under the age of 21 who’ve fallen victim to neglect, abandonment, or abuse have the right to apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS).
So long as you have a juvenile court order establishing you as a dependent of the legal system or a state agency, you can move forward with an application to become a permanent U.S. resident.

Applying for Asylum
Members of protected groups facing persecution in other countries may have the right to seek asylum in the United States. Asylum operates as a governmental protection designated to residents of other countries who are at risk of violence as a result of their:
- Religion
- Political opinions
- Membership in certain groups
- Nationality
- Race
Asylum seekers who arrive in the United States have no more than one year to apply for protection under the country’s asylum policies.
Fortunately, incoming asylum seekers can connect with our humanitarian visa attorneys in Washington, D.C., to discuss what steps they need to take to gather evidence for their asylum applications.

What to Know About Temporary Protected Status
If you’re a victim of a recent natural disaster, an ongoing war, or a medical epidemic, you may qualify for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). This status allows people from other countries to temporarily stay in the United States until unsafe conditions in their home countries are addressed.
Temporary Protected Status rights are frequently changing in the United States. If you want to know whether or not you qualify for this status, you can ask our team to take a closer look at your circumstances.
What to Know About Humanitarian Parole
If you don’t qualify for a traditional visa, don’t panic. There are other options that may allow you to benefit from humanitarian aid upon entering the United States.
Humanitarian parole, for example, allows you entry into the United States when you can prove that you have compelling reasons, including medical or family emergencies.
Notably, humanitarian parole is not the same thing as a visa, and does not serve as the first step on a longer journey to residency. Instead, it is an opportunity granted for up to a year at a time, and it is only awarded on a case-by-case basis.
You can discuss whether or not you qualify for humanitarian parole with our legal team.
