What Is Humanitarian Immigration Relief?
Humanitarian immigration relief includes visas, protective statuses, self-petitions, and other legal solutions intended for those facing persecution, abuse, crime, dangerous conditions, or other serious circumstances.
Depending on the program, relief may provide protection from removal, employment authorization, temporary permission to stay in the U.S., or a path to lawful permanent residence.
Eligibility is highly specific, so it’s important to determine which humanitarian visa or relief program fits your circumstances.

Humanitarian Immigration Services
There’s not just one application or immigration benefit called a humanitarian visa. The term can refer to several distinct forms of immigration relief designed to protect people facing specific dangers or hardships. Each has its own eligibility requirements, filing process, evidentiary standards, and benefits. Depending on your circumstances, you may have more than one form of humanitarian relief to consider.
Asylum
Asylum may protect people facing persecution. Our California & Las Vegas lawyers can assess eligibility and help prepare Form I-589.
U Visa
A U visa may protect qualifying crime victims who help law enforcement.
Our team can help prepare evidence, certification, and your petition.
VAWA
VAWA may help eligible abuse survivors seek legal status without the abuser’s involvement. Our attorneys can help prepare your petition.
Temporary Protected Status
TPS may offer temporary protection and work authorization to eligible nationals of designated countries who meet specific requirements.
Waivers of Inadmissibility
An immigration waiver may address certain grounds of inadmissibility. Our attorneys can assess eligibility and help prepare your request.

How a Humanitarian Visa Lawyer Can Help
The right form of humanitarian relief depends on why you need protection, what happened to you, your current immigration situation, and the requirements of each program. A humanitarian immigration attorney can review your circumstances, explain which forms of relief may apply, and help you understand the differences before you decide how to proceed.
In addition, humanitarian cases rely heavily on detailed personal statements and records of qualifying events, some of which may have occurred years ago. Evidence can be complex, and documentation may not always be available. That’s where a humanitarian immigration attorney can be particularly helpful. Karlin & Karlin can help determine what supporting records, statements, or other documentation may be available when key evidence is missing or difficult to obtain.
No one should have to disclose painful or deeply personal experiences without knowing how that information will be handled. The humanitarian immigration attorneys at Karlin & Karlin provide a respectful and confidential environment where you can discuss your circumstances and make informed decisions about your future.
