Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

We have a new case that I would love to tell you about because he has just been approved for the U Visa to one of our clients and it was a very strong case. Our client from Mexico was arriving home and suddenly she was robbed at gunpoint. But... What happened according to the police report? Not only did they take her purse, wallet, money and jewelry, but they kidnapped her, told her at gunpoint to get into the car and took her away in the car. Unbelievable but true that things like this are happening in the USA.

Crime does not discriminate

But make no mistake; crime in this country is exploding. Now more than ever you can be a victim of crime. So many murders, so many assaults with knives, with guns, with bats, kidnappings, violent crimes are happening more than ever. You have to know that if something happens to you, you will not be alone: these things are happening not only to immigrants, but also to residents, American citizens from all over the world: crime does not discriminate. The only thing to keep in mind is that sometimes criminals target immigrants because they think they are afraid and won't call the police.

So if you, a friendship, family member has been victim of a crime in the past or if something were to happen to him in the future, we have to take advantage of it because the U Visa not only gives you the residency, it gives you a work permit While you wait, you can include your whole family: it forgives all immigration violations and is something that our client who was mugged and kidnapped was able to take advantage of.

Immigration Lawyer

I wish you could take advantage of it too, there is a long list of crimes that immigration accepts if you were personally present when something happened it is worth checking because you may unknowingly be eligible for the U Visa, work permit and the residence that corresponds to it.
