U Visa
In the United States, if an immigrant is a victim of certain types of crimes, they may be able to obtain protected status and eventually qualify for lawful permanent residence.
This is called a U visa. This visa was designed to give relief to victims of crimes, including assault, sexual abuse, kidnapping, extortion, and domestic violence, among others. To qualify, a person must show that they are the victim of qualifying criminal activity and that they have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse due to that criminal activity.
What are the benefits of the U visa?
Si el solicitante es menor de 21 años de edad, su cónyuge, hijos, padre
y hermanos solteros menores de 18 años pueden aplicar para la visa U.
While all of this may seem excessive, it is what is required if you want to be part of the millions of people who are naturalized citizens of the United States of America. This process will not seem so difficult if you have an experienced immigration attorney to handle your case from start to finish. Finally, it might be interesting to know some of the benefits citizenship can offer you in this country. A US citizen will have the opportunity to enjoy many privileges and rights not available to non-citizens, such as participating in government and voting to elect the men and women who make and enforce the laws. Also, there is the privilege of being elected and serving in public office, as well as being able to join any of the services that keep America safe.
