Humanitarian Immigration

Indigenous Guatemalans

Many of our indigenous Guatemalan clients are seeking political asylum. We are uniquely set up to help this vulnerable community.

We work with several interpreters who speak indigenous languages including Mam and K’iche/Quiche. We have resources to connect to social workers and community organizations. We are very cognizant of the cultural issues and persecution that indigenous Guatemalans likely have faced in their home country.

If you are indigenous Guatemalan or if you are an individual or agency that works with indigenous Guatemalans, we encourage you to contact our office to find out about any immigration benefits that may be available to you or your clients.

Types of Humanitarian Immigration Asylum Cases

Gay and Transgender Individuals

Depending on your country of origin, if you are gay or transgender, you may be eligible for political asylum. Furthermore, same-sex married couples now have the same immigration rights as heterosexual couples.
