U-Visa

Immigration Aces is a leading immigration law firm with years of experience helping individuals seek protection and legal relief in the United States, including assistance with U Nonimmigrant Visa (U Visa) applications.

The U Visa provides protection for victims of qualifying crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and have cooperated with law enforcement during the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity.

This humanitarian visa offers eligible individuals temporary legal status, work authorization, and a potential pathway to lawful permanent residency in the United States.

What is a U Nonimmigrant Visa?

The U Nonimmigrant Visa, commonly referred to as the U Visa, was established under the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000.

The program was designed to provide humanitarian relief and legal protection to victims of serious crimes who may not otherwise have lawful immigration status in the United States.

Each year, approximately 10,000 U Visas are available to qualifying applicants.

Eligible applicants may receive:

  • Temporary lawful status in the United States
  • Employment authorization
  • Protection from deportation
  • A potential pathway to a Green Card and permanent residency
