Which path should you read first?
Answer what you can and skip what you do not know. The screener points you to the pages that fit your situation. It does not decide whether you qualify, and nothing you choose is saved, sent, or put in the web address.
Current as of October 2026. We re-check this page every quarter and after any change in the law.

Common questions
Is anything I click here stored?
No. Your answers live only in this open page. They are not sent to us or anyone, not saved in the browser, and not written into the web address. Closing the tab or pressing Clear answers erases them. Your browser history will still show that you visited this page; see staying-safe-online.html for how to deal with that.
The screener says a path may fit. Does that mean I qualify?
No. It means that page is worth reading and worth asking us about. Whether you qualify depends on facts and evidence the screener does not ask about, such as good moral character and the details of the abuse.
The lawyers who will handle your case
One of them calls you back, privately, on your terms.
Talk to a lawyer privately. You decide how we reach you.
Tell us a safe number or email and a safe time, and whether we can leave a message. We never contact the person who hurt you, and we never call from a number or send anything that names this site. The first conversation is free and confidential, in English, Russian, Spanish or Uzbek, with a live interpreter for any other language.
