U Status — Crime Victims

The situation

Does this sound familiar?

You were a victim of a serious crime and cooperated with authorities, or you want to do that but don't know how. Your immigration status is uncertain and you're afraid. U Status exists to protect victims like you, but it requires certification from an authority and clear evidence of your cooperation. It's a long process, but it opens a path to permanent residency.
