What Needs to Happen for a Successful Petition

If you are in the country illegally, it is important that you file a petition as soon as possible. Doing so will defer any laws about your legal status and help you avoid deportation. You will need to prove that you were a victim of a qualifying crime and that your safety requires obtaining this visa.

Among the crimes that qualify someone for a U visa are:

• Abduction
• Trafficking
• Slave trade
• Domestic violence
• Incest
• Peonage
• Witness tampering
• False imprisonment
• Prostitution
• Extortion
• Torture

The next step will be to apply using an I-918 form, after which you will need to visit an embassy and undergo a consular interview. Having an experienced immigration attorney here can make a big difference.
