- persons fleeing persecution, including refugees and asylees;
- other humanitarian immigrants, including those granted temporary protected status;
- Cuban/Haitian entrants;
- survivors of domestic violence, trafficking, and other serious crimes; and
- persons with valid non-immigrant visas, such as work or student visas.
