Special Immigrants
Explained
Humanitarian Parole
The United States took a significant step toward fulfilling President Biden's promise to welcome Ukrainians fleeing Russia's invasion on April 21, 2022. Uniting for Ukraine allows Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members who live outside the United States to come to the United States and stay for a two-year parole period. Ukrainians taking part in Uniting for Ukraine must have a US supporter who agrees to give them with financial assistance for the duration of their stay in the US.

Abused Spouses, Children and Parents
The family-based immigration process generally requires U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to file a petition for their noncitizen family members. Some petitioners may misuse the immigration process to further abuse their noncitizen family members by threatening to withhold or withdraw the petition in order to control, coerce, and intimidate them.
Refugees and Asylum
People who have been persecuted or risk being persecuted because of their race, religion, nationality, or membership in a specific social group or political stance may be given refugee status or asylum.
Forced Marriage
A forced marriage is one that occurs without the permission of one or both of the parties involved. You have given your full, free, and informed consent to marry your prospective spouse, as well as the time of the marriage. When family members or others use physical or emotional abuse, threats, or deception to force you to marry without your consent, this is known as forced marriage.
Individuals of any race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sex, age, immigration status, or national origin can be forced to marry. It can affect people from all socioeconomic and educational backgrounds.
