  U-Visa Attorney
  Established in 2000 under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), the U visa program gives people a chance to stay in this country when they cooperate with law enforcement to prosecute criminals.
  A U Visa is offered to individuals who have been victims of a crime, and have assisted, are assisting, or will assist in the investigation and prosecution of the defendant, a suspect, or any other person who committed the crime.
  U Visa Eligibility Criteria:
  You must have been a victim of a qualifying criminal activity, and this crime must have occurred in the United States or violated U.S. law.
  In the course of this criminal activity, you must have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse.
  You have useful information about this criminal activity.
  You have been or will be helpful to law enforcement to bring the perpetrator of this crime to justice.
  You are admissible to the United States, or you are applying for a waiver.
  The first step in the U visa application process is completing Form I-918, Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status. When Form I-918 is submitted, an accompanying form, Form I-918, Supplement B, U Nonimmigrant Status Certificate must be submitted at the same time.
  This second form certifies the applicant is a victim of a crime and has, is or will be providing assistance to law enforcement in the investigation of the crime.
