Compassionate Immigration Lawyers in Fairfax & Washington D.C.
For more than 20 years, our immigration lawyers have helped non-citizens who suffered abuse by a U.S. spouse, parent, or child find safety and a pathway to lawful status.
Our founder—a Canadian immigrant who personally received her green card through VAWA before becoming a U.S. citizen—understands firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and hope involved in this process. Inspired by her journey, we established our dedicated VAWA legal team in 2002 with one mission: to educate non-citizens on their rights and provide a safe exit from abusive or toxic relationships.
What is VAWA?
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a powerful protection under U.S. immigration law that allows abused non-citizen spouses of U.S. citizens or permanent residents, abused children of U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and abused parents of U.S. citizen children to self-petition for a green card through the Form I-360 Special Immigrant Petition—without relying on their abuser to file. This process is confidential and protects applicants from retaliation or control by the abusive family member.
How We Help
Our team provides skilled and compassionate representation for VAWA clients, including:
- Evaluating eligibility for a self-petition
- Preparing strong evidence of abuse and good moral character
- Filing I-360 petitions and green card applications

- Offering continued legal support for work authorization, travel, and eventual citizenship
