As Domestic Violence Awareness Month begins, we’re celebrating an important victory for more than 130 immigrant survivors.

Our clients survived domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other serious crimes. They came forward, helped law enforcement and applied for U visas, but spent years waiting for required reviews of their cases. Now, a federal court has ordered USCIS to act. This victory follows years of work by our Immigration Pathways for Victims Project (IMMPAV), pro bono attorney Brad Banias along with help from our partners at the North Carolina Justice Center, Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy and Pisgah Legal Services.
