Representing Immigrant Victims of Domestic Violence 339<br />

ASISTA is a collaboration between four nationally-recognized legal experts<br />

who provide technical assistance on the intersection between immigration<br />

and domestic violence law. The ASISTA website offers useful material on<br />

VAWA self-petitions, T and U visas, and links to other organizations that<br />

assist domestic violence victims. ASISTA provides free technical assistance<br />

to organizations that receive money from the federal Office on Violence<br />

Against Women or state STOP grants. Other attorneys and organizations<br />

that would like access to Asista staff can do so for a contribution—contact<br />
