Form I-360 covers several special categories. The most common for our clients are VAWA self-petitions, which are confidential and do not involve the abuser, and Special Immigrant Juvenile status for young people who need protection after abuse, abandonment or neglect.

USCIS fee

VAWA self-petition: $0
Special immigrant juvenile: $250
Most other categories: $515

The $250 juvenile fee is set by Congress (H.R. 1).

Questions people ask

Will the abuser find out?

Federal confidentiality rules protect VAWA petitions. They generally bar the government from sharing your information with the abuser or deciding your case only on information from the abuser. Give a safe mailing address, and talk to us about your safety plan.
