What Is A U-Visa?

If you have been subjected to a crime within the boundaries of the United States or in violation of U.S. laws, you may be eligible for a U Non-Immigrant Visa. The criteria to qualify include being a victim of one or more designated crimes, cooperating with any relevant law enforcement agency or agencies in the investigation, and suffering either physical injury or mental distress due to the crime. This visa offers a degree of protection against the offender and aids the investigative process so that the offender can face legal consequences. The visa also provides temporary legal status in the U.S. while the crime is being investigated and the offender prosecuted.
