Odunlami Law is a professional U Visa Attorney for victims in the US
In order to protect victims of crime, the United States Congress created the so-called U Visa in 2000. Its objective is to motivate victims to enforce the law and take their case to investigation without fear of being deported.
Victims of crimes such as domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, and felony assault, among others, are eligible for the U Visa.
Immigrants who are given this benefit can receive a work permit (“Employment Authorization Document”) and they will also be able to apply for a permanent residence after three years of obtaining the U Visa. After being a permanent resident for five years, they can also apply for citizenship, assuming they meet all other requirements for the status.
