Humanitarian
Review protection options with care
These pathways address specific circumstances and are not substitutes for work or family visas.
Asylum
Persecution tied to a protected ground; deadlines can be critical.
VAWA, U and T
Qualifying survivors of abuse, crime or trafficking.
TPS and parole
Depend on current designations and discretion.
Refugee and S
Distinct processes; S requires government involvement.
What to bring
We discuss safe communication and urgent deadlines first. Do not send sensitive narratives or identity documents through a general website form.
Proposed legal fee
Asylum $6,000–$12,000; VAWA $5,000–$9,000; U/T $6,000–$10,000; TPS $1,000–$2,000; parole $3,000–$6,000. Government charges and screening are separate.
Can a protection filing replace a work or family visa?
No. Each pathway has its own eligibility requirements and evidence.
