Unlock a Brighter Future with U Visas for Crime Victims
Every person deserves to live free from fear and violence. If you have been a victim of a crime in the United States and fear for your safety, there is hope and help available to you. The U Visa, a vital component of the “Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000,” provides a lifeline to those who have suffered due to criminal activity and who have courageously cooperated with law enforcement.
What Is a U Visa?
The U Visa is more than just a legal status; it’s a beacon of hope for individuals who have experienced substantial physical or mental abuse as a result of a crime. This visa is designed to protect and empower victims, offering them the opportunity to come forward and assist law enforcement in their pursuit of justice.
Who Qualifies for a U Visa?
To be eligible for a U Visa, you must meet certain criteria:
You have suffered significant harm due to criminal activity in the United States, which can be physical or emotional.
You possess information related to the criminal activity.
You have cooperated with a federal, state, or local law enforcement agency, including the Police Department or Prosecutor’s Office, during the investigation of the crime.
Why U Visas Matter
U Visas are a lifeline to the most vulnerable victims within immigrant communities, particularly those who have endured domestic or sexual violence. These victims often live in fear, hesitant to contact authorities. The U Visa was created to protect them and promote cooperation between immigrant victims and law enforcement.
A Pathway to a Brighter Future
Obtaining a U Visa can be life-changing. After three years, U Visa holders can apply for Adjustment of Status if they were physically present in the United States for at least three continuous years from receiving the U Visa. This pathway to legal status is justified on humanitarian grounds to ensure family unity and serve the public interest.
There are no limits on the number of U Visa Status Adjustments available, and the Immigration Service holds exclusive jurisdiction over these decisions, ensuring your safety and security.
Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back
If you have been a victim of a crime and are living in the shadows, the U Visa may be your key to unlocking a brighter future. You do not need to have legal documentation to apply. Congress passed this law to provide hope and support to individuals just like you.

Very happy for having obtained my residency and for the patience they had handling my case. I went to my interview outside of the United States and I came back well, being a resident. When I went to my interview, they gave me everything I needed. The service was the best and with a very good price for the service. I recommend this law firm a lot, especially my attorney Lisa Elkin, excellent work!
