Good news for U Visa holders

Immigration lawyers Jorge Rivera > Blog > Asesoria Immigration > Good news for U Visa holders

Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

Pending U Visa and a work permit

Requirements

What is the requirement for a person with a pending U Visa to obtain a work permit? The following are the requirements:

  • i918 Application Pending: Form i918, Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status.
  • Police certification: stating that you cooperated with the criminal investigation and that you submitted a sworn affidavit
  • Immigration approve your background check: approval through fingerprinting.

This means that, immediately anyone who has a U Visa pending should be applying for a U Visa. work permit. If you are applying for the U Visa for the first time, you must include the work permit.

Advantages

The significance of this news is that, prior to this change, people applying for the U Visa had to wait almost five years to obtain a work permit. Now, they no longer have to wait that long. Applying immediately is taking between six months and a year, but as soon as possible to obtain a work permit while waiting for their U Visas.

In addition, the work permit means a social security number and a driver's license. You will no longer be taken advantage of at work by being paid less than what you are entitled to be paid. With this upgrade, you will be paid the correct legal rates and earn much more. 

Who can qualify for the U Visa?

Not only the victims of a robbery, assault or lawsuitmay qualify for the U Visa. But also when they are victims of any kind of abuse, harassment, or human trafficking. In short, anyone who is harmed in these terms may qualify.

You should check with your attorney to see if you qualify for the U Visa. We will be happy to help you, because the U Visa has the most powerful waiver in Immigration, and now gives you a work permit while you wait. All Immigration violations are forgiven. This is an open door for hundreds of thousands of people. Take advantage of this opportunity.
