Technical Assistance

ASISTA provides technical assistance for our members who are serving immigrant survivors of violence in a professional capacity. 

ASISTA does not provide direct legal services. If you are a survivor or victim of crime, please consult the National Immigration Service Directory for a legal services provider near you. If you are representing yourself in an immigration matter, you are not eligible for technical assistance from ASISTA on that case. 

Our technical assistance focuses on questions that may arise for attorneys and advocates working on Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitions, U and T visa cases and other survivor-based forms of immigration relief (like domestic violence waivers for conditional residents, VAWA cancellation).  We help in complex matters involving inadmissibility, deportability, enforcement issues, and cases in Immigration Court.

Yes. If your client has a long delay related to a humanitarian case (like VAWA, U or T visa or other survivor-based relief) we are able to connect with the relevant government agencies in order help resolve the delay.
