Attorney In Phoenix, Arizona

What Is A U-Visa?

If you are the victim of a crime or crimes that happened in the United States or violated U.S. laws, you could be eligible for a U Non-Immigrant Visa. To qualify, you must have been the victim of at least one of a specific list of crimes, you must have cooperated with whatever law enforcement agency or agencies that are investigating the crime, and the crime must have caused physical or mental abuse. If you’ve been a victim, you need an experienced immigration lawyer to support you every step of the way. Let our compassionate legal team help you fight for the justice you deserve.

Will a U-Visa Qualify Me for a Green Card?

Although a U-Visa is a non-immigrant visa, it does grant you specific rights. Among those rights is the ability to get a driver’s license, open a bank account, enroll in a course of study at a vocational or academic institution, or work legally in the United States. If, however, you have held your U-Visa for three years, you may apply for a green card and become a legal permanent resident of the U.S. To qualify, though, you must have complied with all the requests of the law enforcement officers and shared everything you know with the proper law enforcement agencies. Make sure you’re connected with an experienced immigration attorney to help you through this often-stressful process.

How Can I Apply for a U-Visa?

First, your attorney will contact the law enforcement agency investigating the incident where you were a victim for their signature on the I-918B certification form. Once the certification form is received, you must submit your application for the U-Visa within six months of the date of the signature on the certification form. You don’t need to go through this process alone. Get in touch with our immigration lawyers today.
