U Visa for Victims of Crimes in the United States

At Eve’s Immigration Services, we understand the value of courage and resilience.
The U Visa application is designed to provide immigration protection to individuals who were victims of certain crimes in the United States, who suffered physical or mental abuse , and who cooperated with authorities in the investigation or prosecution of the crime

Our commitment is to offer you professional, compassionate, and confidential assistance throughout every step of the process, so you can move toward a safer and more stable future.

What is the U Visa?

The U Visa application is an immigration benefit granted by the United States government to victims of certain crimes who:

  • Have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse as a result of the crime.
  • Have information that is helpful about the crime.
  • Have helped or are willing to help authorities in the investigation or criminal prosecution.

This visa allows victims—and in some cases, their immediate family members—to legally remain in the U.S., work , and eventually apply for permanent residency (a Green Card).

Examples of Qualifying Crimes

Some of the crimes that may qualify for a U Visa application include:

  • Domestic violence
  • Physical or sexual assault
  • Kidnapping or attempted kidnapping
  • Extortion or blackmail
  • Assault with a weapon
  • Human trafficking
  • Criminal harassment or serious threats
  • Violation of restraining orders
  • Homicide or attempted homicide
