U-Visa Immigration Attorney

Call (951) 433-7124

Whether citizens, permanent residents or undocumented immigrants, the United States recognizes the need for everyone to feel safe in their communities. Unfortunately, undocumented immigrants often feel afraid to report criminal activity against them and their families, worrying that it could lead to their deportation or removal from the country. Recognizing the need to encourage everyone to report criminal activity regardless of the victim’s immigration status, the United States created the U-Visa program to provide immigration relief to victims of qualified criminal activity.

When granted, a U-Visa will allow an immigrant to remain inside the United States without the fear of being deported. The immigrant can apply for a work permit, allowing them to work legally and secure a social security number. Eventually, the immigrant may even qualify for permanent residence, making the U-Visa an optimal solution for immigrants who successfully reported qualifying criminal activity to the authorities.

To qualify for a U-Visa, it is crucial that the immigrant establish they were the victim of certain, qualifying crimes. Moreover, they must demonstrate that they cooperated with an investigation into those crimes, regardless of whether the perpetrator is ever caught or prosecuted. These steps are usually accomplished by reviewing a copy of the initial police report of the crime in question with Attorney Khan or Attorney Brooks.

Over the years, the Khan Law Firm has helped several immigrants successfully secure a U-Visa, setting them on the track towards permanent residence and U.S. citizenship.
