What Is A U-Visa?

If you have unfortunately suffered as a victim of a crime within the United States or in a situation that violates U.S. law, you may find that the opportunity to apply for a U Non-Immigrant Visa is available to you. This visa represents a crucial pathway for individuals in your situation, and eligibility is determined by specific criteria, including being a victim of a qualifying crime, demonstrating full cooperation with the investigating law enforcement agencies, and experiencing physical or mental abuse as a direct consequence of the crime. The primary purpose of this visa is not only to provide you with protection from the offender but also to assist law enforcement in their efforts to pursue justice and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.


Additionally, this visa grants you temporary legal status in the U.S. while the ongoing investigation and the apprehension of the criminal take place. It is important to recognize that, as a victim, having the right legal support is essential for navigating this complex and often overwhelming process. That’s where Anny Leon, your dedicated immigration law attorney based in Florida, comes into play; she is committed to standing by your side every step of this challenging journey.
