UAM (Unaccompanied Minors)
Some 3000 unaccompanied minors arrived in Los Angeles in 2014, were released to a parent or relative and awaited immigration hearings. Since then, El Rescate has represented over 500 minors in court. Some who have been abused or neglected are eligible for SIJS (Special Immigrant Juvenile Status).
U Visa
The U visa is a non-immigrant visa for victims of mental, physical, sexual or psychological abuse or crimes in the United States, and their immediate family members. This status is based on cooperation with law enforcement agencies in the arrest and prosecution of criminal offenders.
