FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UVisa and who is eligible to apply?

A UVisa is a nonimmigrant visa designed for victims of certain crimes who have suffered physical or mental abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement agencies in the investigation or prosecution of those crimes. Eligibility is based on being a victim of a qualifying crime, cooperating with law enforcement, and obtaining a certification of helpfulness.

How do I obtain a UVisa? What are the application steps?

To obtain a UVisa, you must complete the petition form, provide supporting documentation, and obtain a law enforcement certification. You will submit your application to USCIS. If approved, you receive temporary legal status and can eventually apply for lawful permanent residency.

Is there a cap on the number of UVisas issues each year?

Unlike some other visa categories, there is no annual cap on the number of UVisas that can be issued. This ensures that UVisas are always available for eligible applicants, and there is no waiting for visa numbers.

Is there a filing fee for the petition?

Yes, there is a filing fee for the UVisa. It’s essential to check the most up-to-date fee information on the USCIS website or consult with an immigration attorney who can provide current details on the filing fees and any available fee waivers. USCIS may also offer fee waivers in certain circumstances for those who are unable to pay the required fees.
