Description
Session 1: Building Blocks of a Humanitarian Case (2 hrs.)
Immigrant survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other crimes face myriad barriers accessing safety and justice. To combat these barriers, Congress, regulators, and policy makers have built numerous pathways to temporary and permanent immigration statuses and protections. In this interactive session, participants will examine protections such as VAWA self petitions, the U visa, the T visa, and adjustments of status based on these protections. We will review the current requirements and discuss the best evidence to prove a survivor’s eligibility.
Speakers:
- Cristina Velez, Legal & Policy Director, ASISTA
- Rebecca Eissenova, Senior Staff Attorney, ASISTA
