At L. Ortiz Lawyer Firm, we believe in defending the dignity and rights of every person, especially those facing crisis, displacement, or harm. Through a range of humanitarian immigration relief options offered by USCIS in 2025, we help immigrant families access life-saving protections and pathways to stability in the United States.
Whether you’re fleeing violence, facing persecution, or dealing with exceptional hardships, our firm provides experienced and compassionate legal support tailored to your unique circumstances.
Humanitarian relief includes a group of U.S. immigration programs that protect individuals and families who are unable to return to their home countries due to dangerous or extraordinary conditions. These programs, many of which have been expanded or streamlined in 2025, include:
Asylum
Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
U Visas (for victims of certain crimes)
T Visas (for victims of human trafficking)
VAWA Petitions (for abused spouses, children, or parents of U.S. citizens or residents)
Humanitarian Parole
Deferred Action
In 2025, USCIS has focused on improving processing times, digital access, and protections for vulnerable individuals. Updates include:
Faster adjudication for emergency humanitarian parole requests
Re-designation and extension of TPS for countries in ongoing conflict or disaster
Increased support for domestic violence survivors through VAWA
More robust protections for victims of trafficking and exploitation
Greater access to work permits and deferred action protections
These changes offer new hope—but the legal process remains complex and often overwhelming without proper guidance.
At L. Ortiz Lawyer Firm, we walk with you every step of the way. Our experience with humanitarian immigration cases allows us to build strong applications and fight for the protections you deserve. We provide:
Detailed evaluations of eligibility
Assistance with complex USCIS forms and documentation
Representation in immigration interviews and proceedings
Emergency filings for urgent cases
Compassionate, culturally aware legal support
Humanitarian relief is more than a legal option—it’s a second chance at life. Many of our clients have fled domestic violence, gang threats, political persecution, or natural disasters. With our help, they’ve found safety, stability, and the opportunity to reunite with loved ones or raise their children in peace.
