Helping You Navigate Humanitarian Pathways to Immigration Relief
Humanitarian Relief Attorneys In Florida
Legal Support for Individuals Facing Dangerous or Unstable Circumstances
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we understand that not all immigration journeys begin under ideal conditions. For individuals and families fleeing violence, exploitation, natural disasters, or other emergencies, U.S. immigration law offers several forms of humanitarian relief. These options are designed to provide protection and stability during times of uncertainty.
Our Florida-based immigration law firm helps clients apply for humanitarian programs such as T-visas, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and Humanitarian Parole, offering guidance on eligibility, documentation, and next steps toward more permanent status when available.

T-Visas for Victims of Human Trafficking
The T-visa is available to noncitizens who have been victims of severe forms of human trafficking, including labor and sex trafficking. This visa allows survivors to remain in the United States for up to four years, with the possibility of applying for lawful permanent residency later.
To qualify for a T-visa, applicants must:
- Be a victim of human trafficking
- Be physically present in the U.S. on account of trafficking
- Cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the traffickers (with some exceptions for minors or those unable to cooperate due to trauma)
- Show they would suffer extreme hardship if removed from the U.S.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we help survivors of trafficking prepare and file their Form I-914, gather supporting evidence, and request waivers if needed. We approach these cases with compassion, care, and a strong commitment to your safety and legal protection.
TPS (Temporary Protected Status)
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is granted to individuals from countries that are experiencing ongoing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions that make return unsafe.
Individuals granted TPS:
- May stay in the U.S. legally for a designated period
- Can apply for work authorization
- Are protected from removal during the TPS period
Eligibility depends on nationality (or last habitual residence), continuous physical presence in the U.S. since a specific date, and registration within USCIS deadlines.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we help TPS applicants:
- Understand whether their country is currently designated for TPS
- File Form I-821 and any required renewals
- Apply for work permits and other benefits available under TPS
We also advise clients on how TPS may interact with other immigration options, including possible paths to permanent residency in the future.
Humanitarian Parole
Humanitarian parole allows individuals who are otherwise inadmissible to the U.S. to enter temporarily due to urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. This is not a visa or permanent solution, but it can provide access to safety or medical care when no other options are available.
Examples of situations where humanitarian parole may apply include:
- Urgent medical emergencies
- Family reunification in life-threatening circumstances
- Protection for individuals fleeing conflict zones who do not yet qualify for asylum or refugee status
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we assist with preparing Form I-131, documenting the humanitarian need, and supporting each request with strong evidence. We also help families understand the limitations and possible next steps after parole is granted.
