Скачать или смотреть Immigration 101: What crimes can lead to a U visa?

Let's talk about U Visas. Surviving a violent crime is traumatic and challenging to overcome, and if you're fearful about your immigration status, this can make the difficulty even worse. In the year 2000, Congress created the U visa program to help immigrant survivors of crime legalize their status if they provide assistance to law enforcement in the investigation and/or prosecution of certain violent crimes.

In this video, immigration lawyer Jennifer Walker Gates explains what kinds of crimes may allow a victim to receive a U visa and what an immigrant crime victim needs to qualify to apply for this visa program once you have collaborated with law enforcement.
