    • U Visas (Victims of Qualifying Crimes) – Available to noncitizens who have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse as victims of qualifying crimes (such as domestic violence, felonious assault, or extortion) and who assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution.
    • T Visas (Victims of Human Trafficking) – Designed to protect victims of severe forms of sex or labor trafficking, providing temporary lawful status, work authorization, and a pathway to permanent residency.
    • VAWA Petitions (Violence Against Women Act) – Allows abused spouses, children, or parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to self-petition for a green card independently, without the abuser's knowledge or consent.
