Immigration issues are a chance of a better life. And in some cases, about safety and survival. At JSingleton Law, our humanitarian immigration attorney represents clients in very difficult situations: people fleeing persecution, domestic violence, war in their home countries and more.
The core principles of humanitarian immigration law are set to protect vulnerable people. The options available to you will be unique to your circumstances as no two situations are the same. Our task is to explore and assist you in identifying these options and what is the most suitable plan for you.

The Violence Against Women Act (sometimes referred to as VAWA) is a provision that allows a person to petition for immigration relief without having to maintain a relationship with an abuser. A humanitarian immigration attorney can assist you in submitting your own self-petition under VAWA. This allows you to apply for a green card without your abuser’s knowledge or sponsorship.
If a U.S. citizen spouse, parent or child or a lawful permanent resident spouse or parent is abusing you, we may be able to help you obtain a green card.
When an individual is worried about returning to his or her home country for fear of persecution, they could be eligible for asylum. They must fear persecution do to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group.
Applications for asylum can be long and stressful. Thankfully, a humanitarian immigration attorney at JSingleton Law can assist you in presenting your case in the best possible way. We can help you find and prepare evidence, prepare for interviews, and represent you in court, if needed.
Applying for refugee status, on the other hand, is different from applying for asylum. Both asylum and refugee status are granted to people who have a well-founded fear of persecution in their own country. But asylum is for those already inside the United States, while applications for refugee status must be done from outside the U.S.
At JSingleton Law, our humanitarian immigration attorney understands how time-sensitive refugee applications are and will ensure that you and your family feel supported through the entire process. We make sure that you understand your rights, your options, the steps involved, and what refugee protection means for your future.
The T visa is a non-immigrant visa for victims of trafficking. Victims are allowed to stay in the U.S. while they work with law enforcement during the investigation or prosecution of traffickers.
The T visa application process is complicated; It requires significant evidence and cooperation with authorities. It is recommended to work with a humanitarian immigration attorney who can prepare your case file with the needed facts and protect you from abuse or deportation.
A person may qualify for a U visa if they were the victim of a qualifying crime that caused substantial physical or mental harm. They must also have been, are being, or are likely to be helpful in the investigation or prosecution of that crime.
With the assistance of our humanitarian immigration attorney, we can obtain the necessary documents from law enforcement and prepare a strong, persuasive application. While the process may take time, it can be worthwhile for the security it provides and the opportunity to pursue lawful immigration status in the future.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is a category that applies to children who are abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents. Those that fall under this category can apply for legal permanent residence.
The SIJS case is divided into two different units, family court and immigration. Our humanitarian immigration attorney works with the family court attorney to guide the case through every step of process.
Temporary Protected Status (or TPS) is available for nationals of countries in civil war, natural disasters or other extraordinary conditions. It provides for the right to stay and work in the U.S. until their country is deemed safe to return.
Although it does not grant permanent residence, it is a form of relief that individuals may apply for. Our humanitarian immigration attorney will assist you in preparing your TPS application and any required documents.
Parole in Place is a special status available to certain family members of U.S. armed forces personnel. It grants temporary parole in the United States and can create a pathway to lawful permanent resident status without requiring the individual to leave the country.
A humanitarian immigration attorney will ensure your application is fully prepared and help you understand how this benefit can support your plans moving forward.
