Episode Summary:
In this episode, Steve Miller from Affordable Immigration, together with senior paralegal Yanira Plazas, discuss two powerful legal pathways that offer hope and protection for victims of abuse and serious crimes — the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and the U Visa. They explain who qualifies for each program, what evidence is needed to apply, and how these humanitarian immigration options can help individuals rebuild their lives with safety, stability, and dignity.

Steve and Yanira break down the differences between VAWA and U Visa applications, the importance of documenting abuse, and the protections available while waiting for approval. Their conversation highlights how these programs allow victims to find freedom and peace while remaining in the United States legally.
