They can help with U or T Visa applications and self-petitions for Battered Spouses and Children under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). If you cannot afford an attorney, they have volunteer attorneys that represent clients for free in court cases. However, they cannot help with asylum or refugee cases.
