U visa

This type of visa can be requested by people who have been victims of physical or mental abuse as a result of criminal activity, as well as people who have suffered abuse from a situation of labor or sexist exploitation.

TPS Visa

This visa is granted temporarily to protect the interested party against deportation to their country of origin if they find themselves in the middle of dangerous situations such as war or other humanitarian crises.

VAWA visa

The VAWA visa is granted to women who have been victims of domestic abuse or other family violence and who have children of the United States citizens, legal permanent residents with permission to work, or undocumented with the petitioner. This visa is named for the name of the Violence Against Women Act. The visa gives you temporary protection in the US, but does not grant you permanent residence.

T Visa

The T visa is a humanitarian visa granted to refugee children and people whose families have been separated by government forces in the civil conflict. The T visa can be applied for within the United States and 90 days are granted to present documentary evidence to the INS (Ufficio Immigrati Stranieri) before it expires.

This visa does not require a determination by the refugee admission committee, but very extreme situations such as torture or rape must be demonstrated.

E-C Visa

The E-C visa is a visa granted to victims of certain serious crimes, including crimes committed by gangs or complex criminal organizations and those perpetrated on a large scale against humanity. The visa allows the petitioner to work legally during the last year of his visa (although he cannot apply for permanent resident status).
