• Detailed Information

  • Mission: 

    The Immigration Center for Women and Children (ICWC) is a nonprofit legal organization that provides affordable immigration services to underrepresented immigrants in California. ICWC strives to provide safety and stability for children who are abused, abandoned, or neglected and for immigrants who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other violent crimes.

    History: 

    ICWC has locations in three metropolitan areas in California and one location in Las Vegas, Nevada to better serve underserved communities. In 2004, ICWC opened its doors in Los Angeles. ICWC replicated its model and opened its San Francisco office in 2010. ICWC opened its San Diego office in 2012 and its Las Vegas office in 2019.

    Using U.S. federal law, ICWC provides immigration legal services (U and T visas, VAWA, and SIJS) to immigrants who are victims of crime. The resulting immigration benefits allow individuals to permanently leave their abusers and create safe environments for their families. ICWC's overall goal is to help these victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, sexual assault, and other violent crimes escape abusive relationships, live in safety, and become self-sufficient.

    ICWC's Leadership Team consists of Executive Director and Founder Suzanne McCormick, Deputy Director Jessica Farb, and ICWC Managing Attorneys Danielle Fritz (San Francisco), Brooke Parr (San Diego), Mayra Pop (Los Angeles), and Angel Graf (Las Vegas). The Leadership Team leads a team of national experts in this area of ??law. These experts provide expertise and knowledge in immigration legal services to women and children who are victims of violent crime. In fifteen years of existence, ICWC's legal services delivery model has proven highly successful in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Las Vegas metropolitan areas. To date, ICWC has served over 50,000 individuals.

    IMMIGRATION CENTER FOR WOMEN PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING SERVICE:

    Asylum for Unaccompanied Children

    Asylum helps individuals who come to the U.S. seeking protection because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will suffer persecution in their home country due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. 

    Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

    Deferred Action is temporary relief from deportation or removal action for eligible immigrant youth. This policy is not a permanent fix and does not grant permanent legal status to anyone.

    Immigration Court Help Desk (ICH)

    The Immigration Court Helpdesk is a court-based legal education program for non-detained noncitizens in immigration court proceedings in San Francisco.

    Legal Orientation Program for Custodians (LOPC)

    ICWC provides legal orientations for custodians of Unaccompanied Children who are released from the Office of Refugee and Resettlement (ORR) custody.

    Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)

    In 1990, Congress enacted federal law to assist certain undocumented children in obtaining lawful permanent residence through a special immigrant visa category known as Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.

    U and T Visas (Victims of Trafficking and Violence)

    In 2000, Congress passed a law known as the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA), which created two categories of non-immigrant visas, U visas for victims of certain crimes and T visas for victims of trafficking.

    Violence Against Women (VAWA)

    In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), creating special routes to immigration status for certain battered non-citizens.
