Who is eligible for immigration relief?<\/h3>\n
If you are an immigrant who has been harmed by a family member or another person in your life, you may qualify for immigration relief. This relief can help you obtain a work permit, lawful permanent residency (green card), and even citizenship.<\/p>\n
What if I\u2019m scared to reach out for help?<\/h3>\n
It\u2019s completely normal to feel afraid, but you should know that you may have legal options that allow you to stay in the United States with your family and without fear of deportation. Speaking to a free immigration lawyer at Survivor Justice Center can help you understand your options safely.<\/p>\n
What if the person who harmed me says I have no rights because I\u2019m undocumented?<\/h3>\n
