Title

Immigration status through U-Visa for crime victims

Definition

This category concerns how a (non-citizen) victim of a crime in the US may be eligible to apply for a U-visa status, that allows a person to stay in the the country legally for up to 4 years (which can be extended), and also apply for lawful permanent residency (green card) after three years on the status. Victims of domestic violence may qualify for U-Visa status, if they have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse that constitutes a crime, and cooperate with the law enforcement regarding this crime.
