Supporting Immigrants Seeking Humanitarian Relief in Denton County

Immigrating to a new country can be a complex and challenging process, especially for people who are fleeing persecution, violence, or disasters. Fortunately, there are several forms of humanitarian relief available to those who are seeking protection and assistance in the United States. These programs can provide protection against deportation, and in some cases, immigrants may be able to receive public benefits and eventually apply for Green Cards. If you need assistance with humanitarian relief, John W. Lawit, LLC can provide the legal help you need through this difficult time while ensuring that you take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family from harm.

Different Types of Humanitarian Relief

There are a variety of forms of relief that may be available to immigrants, including but not limited to:

• DACA - The immigration policy known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals provides temporary relief from deportation for certain undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as children. It also provides them with work authorization while they are living in the U.S. To qualify for DACA, applicants must meet certain criteria, including maintaining a Continuous presence in the U.S. since June 15, 2007, demonstrating educational attainment or military service history, and passing criminal background checks. While new DACA applications stopped being accepted in 2021, people who were approved for deferred action prior to that date may still be eligible for renewals.
• Temporary Protected Status (TPS) - Certain countries that are experiencing ongoing armed conflict or other extraordinary circumstances may be designated by the U.S. government as unsafe, and immigrants from those countries may receive protection from deportation. The TPS program allows eligible immigrants to remain temporarily in the United States, and they may also apply for employment authorization during their stay.
• U Visas - These visas provide victims of certain crimes with temporary legal status in the United States and eligibility for employment authorization. The U Visa was created to assist immigrant victims of crimes such as domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, kidnapping, and other serious crimes. If they are willing to work with law enforcement and provide assistance in the investigation and prosecution of these offenses, they will be able to remain in the U.S., and they may eventually qualify for Green Cards.
• T Visas - These visas may be available for immigrants who have been victims of human trafficking, including labor exploitation and forced prostitution. Similar to the U Visa, the T Visa provides temporary legal status and work authorization to encourage cooperation with law enforcement and assist in the prosecution of traffickers. People who receive T visas may also be eligible to apply for permanent residence after meeting certain requirements.
• Asylum - This is a form of protection that allows people who have fled their home countries because of persecution based on factors such as race, religion, political opinions, nationality, or group membership to seek refuge in another country. To qualify for asylum in the United States, Homeland Security must determine that an immigrant has a credible fear that they or their family members may suffer persecution. When asylum is granted, an immigrant will be protected against deportation, and after living in the U.S. for a certain amount of time, they may be eligible for a Green Card.
