Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

There are thousands of people who have applied as victims of crime for the U VisaWhether it is for assault, robbery, beatings, accusations, abuse, or anything else that has been done to you. If you have a police report, your lawyer or we can tell you if you qualify.

Apply with Visa U pending

The detail is that the U Visa is taking five years. Previously, it was not possible to apply for the work permit since the beginning, but now with a recent change in the Immigration regulationsYou can apply for permission when you initially apply for the U Visa. You apply with the U Visa receipt that Immigration sends you, and that can be done at any time during the five years.

Now, Immigration will give you a work permit after they complete the fingerprint check, which is expected to take months. Therefore, Immigration should take the same time with these U Visa work permits.

Remember that now during 2021, for the first time it was possible to apply for the permit with a pending U Visa, which means that the work permit will probably arrive during 2022. But the work permit is not the only thing you can do while your U VISA is pending.

What can you do while the U Visa is pending?

During that time, you should ask for any immigration record you need. For example, if you had contact at the border with ICE, and if there may be a deportation. Why? Because we will want to ask for forgiveness for all those violations that should be forgiven in your U Visa process.

If we do not ask for the records, we do not know the details of those violations or the consequences to ask for forgiveness. You can include all of your family members: spouse, children under 21, etc. These are very important steps that you should be taking while your U Visa is pending, to move your case forward as much as possible.
