There are two immigration protections that can be of great help to those who have been victims of crime in the U.S. If you have been affected by a violent crime in this country, you may be eligible for the U-visa for crime victims. Also, if you have been a victim of domestic violence by your U.S. citizen spouse or a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., you may be able to self-petition for a U.S. visa for victims of crime. You may be able to self-petition for VAWA and obtain your permanent residency.
If you would like to evaluate immigration options, please do not hesitate to contact us.
