Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.
The U Visa is taking a little less than 5 years, and this has been maintained by Immigration for years. This has been going on for a long time.
The important thing is that, if you are waiting for your U Visa, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Many attorneys are not filing the U Visa waiver from the beginning, but wait until Immigration asks for it. This delays the case tremendously. During those almost five years of waiting, you should be filing the U Visa waiver. sorryThe VisaU is required for VisaU in the vast majority of cases. In addition, you should be including all your relativesif they were not initially included.
You must be asking for your immigration record if you have had contact with Immigration. It may be necessary to reopen and terminate a deportation, depending on what is going on with your VisaU. If approved, this deportation must be terminated.
And finally, you should ask for a work permit.
In conclusion, you can: ask for the pardon, the work permit, all your immigration records if you had contact and include your family members. Lots of things to do while it is pending, and know that you don't have to wait all the time in the world until you get the pardon. the residence with the VisaU.
There are alternatives that may make your case faster once the U Visa is approved. For example, if you have a U.S. citizen child who can petition for you, or a U.S. citizen spouse. These are methods to expedite your case.
