The U Visa protects people who were victims of a violent crime and who cooperated with the authorities after having suffered substantial physical or emotional harm. Examples of crimes that qualify for the U visa are: Domestic violence, sexual assault, rape, abduction, robbery with a firearm, etc.
First, you must obtain a police certification asserting that you have been the victim of a crime and you have cooperated with law enforcement. Then, you will need to apply for the U visa with the department of immigration. With the U visa application, you will be able to apply for a waiver of all the reasons why you could be deportable. The U visa application form is the I-918. When the visa is approved, you will receive an employment authorization valid for 4 years. After 3 years, you will have the opportunity to apply for residency through the adjustment of status process.
If you are eligible, we will help you through the process. From the police certificate to the application for the visa, we will accompany you throughout the process and advise you on how to obtain the visa.
