When safety or family stability is at risk, we provide clear, compassionate guidance on humanitarian options
Support and Safety, We are Here for You
When safety or family stability is at risk, you deserve practical guidance that is clear and caring. At Katsivalis & Anderson Law, we turn urgent situations into a straightforward plan you can follow, and we stay with you at every step.
​
How We Work
We start with a focused strategy call and provide a written roadmap that compares options and fees. You get simple checklists, trauma-informed support, and filings that are complete and well organized.

A Safe Way Forward
Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and CAT
Protection for people who fear persecution or torture if returned to their home country. We prepare detailed declarations, country-conditions evidence, and represent you in interviews and in immigration court.
​
VAWA Self-Petitions
Confidential relief for spouses, parents, and children of United States citizens or permanent residents who have experienced abuse. We build a strong record, protect your privacy, and coordinate work authorization and permanent residence when eligible.
​
U Visas for Crime Victims
For victims who suffered substantial harm and cooperated with law enforcement. We obtain law-enforcement certification, document harm and rehabilitation, and prepare waivers where needed.
​
T Visas for Survivors of Trafficking
Protection and a path to stability for survivors of labor or sex trafficking. We document recruitment, force, fraud, or coercion, gather proof of good-faith efforts to seek safety, and guide you through benefits and long-term status.
​
Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
Time-limited protection for nationals of designated countries. We confirm eligibility, file initial and renewal applications, and align TPS with work authorization and future options.
​
Humanitarian Parole
Case-by-case permission to enter or remain in the United States for urgent reasons. We assemble support letters, evidence of urgent need, and sponsor commitments.
​
Parole in Place for Military Families
Discretionary relief for certain family members of United States service members and veterans. We prepare the request and plan related steps toward permanent residence when available.
​
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)
For eligible children who cannot reunify with one or both parents due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. We coordinate the necessary state court findings and file SIJS with USCIS.
​
Stays of Removal and Deferred Action
Time-sensitive requests that pause enforcement while underlying relief is pursued. We prepare stay requests, deferred action packages, and communicate with enforcement offices.
​
DACA Renewals and Advance Parole
For those who qualify for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. We manage timely renewals, evidence updates, and advance parole planning for qualifying travel.
​
Family Preparedness and Power of Attorney Planning
Family separation planning provides peace of mind before an emergency. We help you prepare state-compliant powers of attorney for property and finances, temporary caregiver or guardianship consents for children, medical treatment and school authorization forms, and an emergency contact and document plan. Where additional family law steps are required, we coordinate with trusted counsel so you have a complete, practical package that caregivers and schools can use immediately.
