If you or a loved one has been the victim of a serious crime in the United States, you may qualify for a U Visa.
This humanitarian visa offers protection and legal benefits to immigrant victims who have suffered abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime.

• You suffered physical or emotional harm
• You are willing to cooperate with authorities in the investigation or prosecution
• The crime occurred in the U.S. or violated U.S. laws

What Are the Benefits?

• A path to permanent residency (green card) after a period of time
• Potential eligibility to include certain family members
