VISA U, VISA VAWA

The Law Office of Vernal Farnum Mejia 

Compassionate immigration help for survivors of crime and abuse.

Our Services

We are committed to providing legal support and protection to victims of violence and abuse in the United States through our specialized U Visa and VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) services. These immigration options were created to protect those who have suffered harm and are seeking safety, justice, and stability. At our firm, we understand the deep emotional and legal challenges involved, and we are here to walk beside our clients through every step of the process.
The U Visa is intended to provide a path to legal residency for victims of certain serious crimes, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and kidnapping, who have cooperated with law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of those crimes. We recognize how important this visa can be for individuals who have endured trauma and are now searching for a way to rebuild their lives in the United States. Our team is committed to guiding Latino clients through the U Visa application process with compassion, clear legal direction, and the emotional support needed to move forward with confidence.

We also assist individuals applying for a VAWA Visa—created for those who have suffered abuse at the hands of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse. This visa allows victims to seek protection and lawful status without relying on their abuser. We understand the specific barriers that Latino immigrants may face in these situations, and our attorneys are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive and confidential support. If you or someone you love is seeking legal protection after experiencing violence or abuse, we are here to help you pursue justice and reclaim your life with dignity.
