Humanitarian visas (SIJS, VAWA, U-VISA, T-VISA & TPS)

At Bijoux Ngwanda Law Office, PLLC, we help clients with a range of immigration issues, including applications for humanitarian visas in the United States.

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status

Children who have experienced neglect, abuse, or abandonment by one or both parents can apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) and eventually, permanent residency.

Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)

Survivors of domestic violence can seek protection under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). VAWA protections are available to applicants of any gender who have been physically or mentally abused by their U.S. citizen or Legal Permanent Resident spouse. VAWA protections are also available to parents of U. S. citizens who suffered abuse, and children and stepchildren of U.S. citizens are also eligible. It is also possible under specified requirements to file the green card application with the VAWA petition simultaneously.

Victims of violent crimes, such as domestic violence, armed robbery, or serious assault, may seek protection through a U-Visa in the United States. While their application is pending, victims may receive work authorization. Once granted, victims receive work authorization and temporary status for 4 years. Later, victims and their eligible family members may apply for legal permanent residency.

Victims of human trafficking can remain and work legally in the United States for up to four years. T-Visa protects survivors of sex or labor trafficking and provides a direct pathway to lawful permanent residence.

Eligible foreign nationals who cannotsafely return totheir home countries due to armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other temporary emergencies may receive Temporary Protected Status, a humanitarian immigration status granted by the U.S. government. Once granted, it protects recipients from deportation and allows them to work legally.

What our clients say

By the time I met Bijoux, my green card application had already taken more than eight months in the system without any indication as to when I was going to adjust my status from approved asylum to a permanent green card holder. Came to find out that there was a contradiction in my asylum application and that caused the delay in processing the green card application. Bijoux applied her legal skills to address those mistakes in my asylum application and with only one clarification letter drafted by Bijoux, I was able to get my green card and that accelerated my family petition filling. Thanks to her, we are all reunited after years of trying.

Jacques Mawele

I was able to come to the US thanks to Bijoux filing the family petition. My kids encountered problems with their green cards because the names were mismatching. I did not hesitate to contact Bijoux for filing and fixing the problem with the immigration department. Because she speaks my language, the entire process was made much easier. I am so thankful to have her in my community.

Marthe Mawele

When I met Bijoux, my asylum was already approved, however, I had no clue on how to adjust my asylum status to the green card status. Bijoux helped me with the process. I got my green card and my family came to join me in the US. Now that I have met my eligibility for US citizenship, she will help me again with that.
