Programs

Six programs. One mission. Real coordination behind every one.

Each UIAN program has a defined scope, partner network and donor-facing report. Programs grow as funding allows. Nothing here is theoretical — these are categories of cases real families bring to us.

Immigration Relief Program

Coordinating immigrants and mixed-status families with licensed attorneys and accredited representatives. Cases include asylum, TPS, U-visa, T-visa, VAWA self-petitions, family-based petitions and adjustment of status.

UIAN does not provide direct legal advice. We do intake, prepare case files, refer to verified legal partners and stay in coordination across the case.

Partners
Licensed immigration attorneys, accredited representatives, BIA-recognized organizations.
Outcome metric
Cases properly filed, families with current legal representation.

Families with safety plan in place and at least one trusted contact for emergencies.
Program 02

Family Protection & Emergency Support

Crisis response when something has already gone wrong — a family member detained, a sudden separation, domestic violence, an emergency housing situation. We do not handle these alone; we coordinate the right specialists fast.

Every case includes a safety plan, a trusted contact list and a follow-up schedule.
