Immigration law has different types of humanitarian statuses. Individuals who are afraid of returning to their home country because of persecution based on their political opinion, race, nationality, religion or membership in a particular social group may be able to apply for asylum. People who have been a victim of certain crimes in the United States may be able to apply for a U visa.
