In VAWA cases, the work permit is an essential benefit because it gives the applicant the opportunity to pursue better job opportunities and eventually build financial stability independently. Many people remain in situations of mistreatment because of financial dependence. VAWA provides meaningful relief from these and other challenges at home.\u00a0<\/span><span

Another important difference between these cases\u00a0is who files and controls the case. As the name suggests, a family petition depends on the qualifying family member, who petitions for the other person based on their relationship. In contrast, VAWA is an independent self-petition filed directly by the person who does not yet have lawful status but qualifies to obtain it without a family member&#8217;s help. Because it is a completely confidential case, the abuser does not have to know about the application or participate in any part of the process. VAWA does not require another person&#8217;s consent\u2014it puts the victim in control and offers a safer path toward legal status.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">The confidentiality of a VAWA case also extends to the abuser. Although the personal declaration describes situations of mistreatment, it does not constitute a report that affects the immigration status or record of the family member mentioned. The facts are used solely as the basis for an immigration case, not to file a police report. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<u><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hffrCZmoBGA?t=72\">For more information about VAWA, watch our most recent live transmissions.\u00a0<\/a><\/u>\n\n<span class=\"TextRun SCXW233300900 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW233300900 BCX0\">At Lisinski Law Firm, we have proven experience helping <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW233300900 BCX0\">people<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW233300900 BCX0\">obtain <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW233300900 BCX0\">papers<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW233300900 BCX0\"> through VAWA.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a component agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, for years required an original \u201cwet ink\u201d signature on all immigration forms filed by mail. In 2020, however, when COVID-19 disrupted daily life across the nation and the world at large, USCIS adopted a more flexible policy permitting applicants and attorneys to submit electronically reproduced signatures, such as scanned copies of signed forms. Under this policy, USCIS accepted, and subsequently approved, cases submitted by LLF and other immigration practitioners across the country for several years.<\/p><p>Then, immigration advocates and practitioners identified a troubling trend: USCIS abruptly began issuing Requests for Evidence (RFEs), Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs), and denials alleging that certain signatures were \u201cdeficient\u201d because they appeared to be reproductions rather than original \u201cwet ink\u201d signatures. Even more troubling was that these challenges were primarily targeted at survivors of human trafficking seeking protections in the form of T-Visas, while other case types with the same signature formats continued to be approved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab0670b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ab0670b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_2.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2658\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_2.png 780w, https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_2-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_2-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87f7dbe e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"87f7dbe\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bef35f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4bef35f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0ea81a elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b0ea81a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">You are not alone in this process, contact us for support.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6474abf elementor-mobile-align-justify elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6474abf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"tel:800-259-5555\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Call Us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55b49dc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"55b49dc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4898a9b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4898a9b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9095773 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9095773\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e2abcd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6e2abcd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Legal Action Against USCIS<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88dc81e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"88dc81e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What began as isolated adjudicatory decisions soon revealed a broader nationwide pattern of harmful agency conduct.

In July 2025, after LLF attempted to negotiate with the federal government, LLF filed a suit against USCIS on behalf of 14 survivors of human trafficking who had their cases unlawfully denied or revoked based on a signature issue.<\/p><p>LLF sought injunctive and declaratory relief on the grounds that USCIS had retroactively altered its signature requirements without prior notice and opportunity for comment, in direct violation of 5 U.S.C. \u00a7 553(b), (c), and (e), and arbitrarily and capriciously rejected cases that were filed in compliance with the signature rule in effect at the time of filing. For survivors of trafficking and domestic violence, unlawful denials carry especially severe consequences, including loss of lawful presence, exposure to removal, and re-traumatization through prolonged legal uncertainty.<\/p><p>In response, USCIS re-opened affected cases and provided mechanisms to cure the alleged signature deficiencies. In a second lawsuit recently filed in February 2026, LLF again sued USCIS, this time representing eight more survivors of human trafficking. In addition to reiterating the claims raised in the first action, LLF alleged that USCIS had adopted an unwritten policy requiring applicants to address alleged signature deficiencies only after USCIS re-opened each unlawful denial. Both lawsuits remain ongoing. Interestingly, USCIS more recently appears to be applying this same abrupt change only to H-1B visa applicants. For LLF, these cases illustrate how individual representation can expose systemic issues that warrant escalation through strategic litigation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2676bcf e-flex

Noem, a national class action pending before the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The case challenges a 2025 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy permitting the routine arrest, detention, and removal of immigrant survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other serious crimes.<\/p><p>The ICE policy disregards deferred action protections that authorize eligible survivors to remain lawfully in the United States for a designated period. As implemented, the policy has enabled ICE to deport survivor-based applicants without conducting the statutorily-required inquiry into visa eligibility and to summarily deny requests for stays of removal.<\/p><p>The litigation remains in its early stages, with plaintiffs seeking preliminary injunctive relief and class certification. LLF contributed to this effort by submitting declarations from affected clients demonstrating how the policy harms noncitizens and interferes with effective legal representation. Across practice areas, attorneys frequently encounter agency actions that appear defensible in isolation but reveal structural flaws when viewed collectively. By identifying these inflection points, firms engaged in individual advocacy can meaningfully contribute to broader efforts that reinforce accountability and the rule of law.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1b21a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e1b21a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_team.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2659\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_team.png 780w, https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_team-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_team-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/lisinskifirm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/strategic-litigation_team-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18ebb3b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"18ebb3b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-796f8f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"796f8f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Looking Forward<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82b726b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"82b726b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The potential outcomes of ICWC v.

A favorable ruling would require ICE to rescind or revise the policy and restore procedural protections enacted by Congress while also clarifying the limits of agency discretion. Even interim relief would safeguard individuals from arrest, detention, or removal during judicial review.<\/p><p>Strategic litigation plays a critical role in protecting vulnerable populations and reinforcing the integrity of administrative processes. LLF&#8217;s mission is to change as many lives as possible through direct representation and strategic litigation to ensure all applicants benefit from a fair and just immigration system. In just five years, LLF is proud to have helped more than 55,000 immigrants pursue pathways to legal status.
