The U visa status (also known as U nonimmigrant status) was created by Congress with the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000. The status allows non–citizen victims of crime who suffered substantial harm to stay in the United States, to obtain employment authorization, and to apply for lawful permanent resident status. Grantees may also apply for immediate family members to obtain immigration status. Furthermore. a U visa holder may apply for a green card after three years and become a legal permanent resident of the United States. If you need a U Visa Lawyer for Victims of Crimes, contact us.
