The U visa exists because prosecutions fail when witnesses are afraid to come forward. If you were the victim of a serious crime in the United States and have information that could help officials prosecute it, a U visa attorney can help you seek temporary legal status for yourself and your family for four years.
U visa recipients have survived horrific crimes involving mental or physical abuse, including human trafficking, kidnapping, prostitution and torture. You need more than accomplished litigators here. You need an attorney who will answer your questions and make you feel at ease during a very difficult time.
Why You Need an Attorney
Applying for a U visa is by no means as simple as filling out a few forms. You need an experienced immigration attorney such as Alejo Lugo to help you gather the information you need for your application and then facilitate the process for you. Here are some ways we can help:
- Determining Eligibility: US law contains a specific list of crimes that qualify victims for U visas. Victims also need to be able to prove that they suffered physical or mental abuse during the crime. We can help you understand if the evidence in your case will make you eligible for a U visa.
- Approaching Law Enforcement: Cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation and/or prosecution of a crime is mandatory for U visa recipients. However, you may be afraid to approach law enforcement on your own. We can help by contacting the appropriate law enforcement agency to see if they are interested in the case about which you have information.
- Filing the Paperwork: We will make sure your U visa application is complete, accurate, and submitted in a timely manner.
