Confidential. Safe. Independent.
If you’ve suffered abuse from a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you may be eligible for immigration protection without needing the abuser’s consent or involvement.
Thanks to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), you can apply for legal status on your own, safely and confidentially. This option empowers you to take control of your life without risking your safety.
VAWA is a federal law that protects immigrants who have experienced domestic abuse. It allows survivors to self-petition for immigration relief without the abuser’s knowledge or support.
This pathway offers protection, independence, and a chance to rebuild your future.
You may qualify if:
A police report is not required to apply. Every case is evaluated with care and confidentiality.
File without the abuser knowing
Receive a work permit and protection from deportation
Pathway to a green card and lawful permanent residency
Independence for you and safety for your children
Potential access to certain public benefits
At the Law Offices of Garcia & Ramirez, we know how difficult it is to take this step. That’s why we offer:
I want to thank Oscar Garcia and his paralegal Ilse for all the hard work and dedication on my dads case. Thank you for always being positive and understanding, for having all the paperwork ready and for never giving up on his case! God bless you!
Very professional team, humble people who are always happy to work with your case, very respectful and efficient lawyers. Glad that the lawyer Oscar Garcia helped me out with my case. So grateful to be a U.S. citizen thanks to him.
Although it was a long and difficult process, everything was resolved favorably and my relative already has his visa and will soon have his residency. Thank you very much, attorney Oscar Garcia and assistant Sandra Mendoza.
My husband and I are 100% pleased with the service and fast action of Ilse, Mr. Ramirez and the entire team who assisted in our case! We had tons of questions and concerns through it all, they acted so professional and made sure we felt secure the entire time! We highly recommend them and will be going back for any further services we may have! Thank you all!!!!
I was surprised at how great of a service. My process to renew my green card took about 4 months. I am strongly happy and satisfied with the service. Nancy was really helpful and responsive to my concerns and questions. Mr. Garcia did every step right to get me my card as soon as possible.
I had a very good experience with them, both my assistant Eve and my lawyer Garza were always very kind to me at all times, they always answered all my questions and doubts clearly, I really appreciate their work and I recommend them 100%
I just want to thank lawyer Steven Ramirez and Guadalupe Rivera for all the hard work on helping bring my mom back home! They are amazing and are dedicated to what they do, I highly recommend them, you won’t regret it! Thanks again.
Excellent service, they guided my husband and I through every step of the process, they never left us alone, they always answered our questions and always had a positive attitude during the process. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Garcia & Ramirez!
We couldn’t have done it without Guadalupe Rivera and Steven Ramirez. We are forever grateful for their hard work, dedication, positivity and understanding in our hard times. Thank you for not giving up on our case. I highly recommend them. God Bless.
You are not alone. We’re here to help.
