Experienced U.S. Immigration Visa Attorney
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) makes special provisions to grant U visas to immigrants who are victims of certain types of serious crimes such as felonious assault, domestic violence, or rape committed in the United States, under the condition that the victim cooperates with the investigation, or the investigation and prosecution of the perpetrator. You can apply for a U Visa even if you are an undocumented immigrant. A U visa is an non-immigrant visa, which can lead to permanent legal residency in the United States.
The I-918 Application to Obtain U Visa for Crime Victims
To submit an application, you must complete a three-page I-918 U Visa Certification petition signed by the police agency, a judge or the prosecutor handling the case. It is important to act quickly once you receive the U Visa Certification. Once the U Visa Certification has been executed, , you have up to six months to submit the completed petition for consideration.
