A qualified alien generally includes:
Individuals who are Lawful Permanent Residents (“Green Card” holders)
Asylees, refugees, or aliens whose deportation status is being withheld
Aliens paroled into the U.S. for at least one year
Aliens granted conditional entry (per law in effect prior to April 1, 1980)

Certain aliens subjected to extreme cruelty or have been a victim of a severe form of human trafficking, including persons with a “T” or “U” visa
