Previously, it was necessary to wait until they approve your U Visa to obtain a work permit. Now, you can force Immigration to make a decision on your work permit as soon as possible after you have applied for a U Visa.
The best strategy is to pressure, push and accelerate Immigration. This work is done by a lawyer, by sending a request to work permit.
The second option is getting married after having applied for the U Visa. Include your new spouse, even if you were not married at the time you applied. This is something new that has just changed. They have implemented it nationwide. Currently, everyone can include their boyfriends or girlfriends if they get married after they have applied.
As mentioned above, once you submit your U Visa application, you can begin the following steps: submitting your work permit, getting married to share the benefit, and as a third option, include other family membersif you did not do it from the beginning.
The vast majority of people with the U Visa end up needing the U Visa. sorry. If you do not submit the waiver from the beginning, they send you a "Fee", and give you three months to submit it, they evaluate it, and so easily start a backlog of six months or more on your U Visa. We recommend that you move your case forward, submitting the waiver as soon as possible. This way, they receive it and end up being the first cases they approve.
Finally, it is important that you ask for your record with Immigrationto see what contacts you've had and if you have a deportation.
Once your visa is approved, you must immediately ask for your deportation to be terminated so that it will disappear. However, there are those who have it and don't know it, which is why no one wants to risk deportation. In the end, you have to go through all these steps when you have all the time in the world during the five years of having your U Visa pending.
