There is a long wait for the U Visa. However, in many cases, while it is unfortunate that you were a victim of crime, this might be the only way you will be able to obtain legal status, the work permit and eventually the Green Card. The U nonimmigrant status (U visa) is set aside for victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in the investigation or prosecution of criminal activity. One reason it takes so long is that there are only 10,000 issued per year and the fact is that there are many more victims of crime than 10,000. Thus, it now takes several years to move forward. However, if you do not do this and get in line, you will never be able to get it.

The Waivers of many different types of crimes and inadmissibility issues are far more expensive than a normal Waiver for example with an adjustment of status application. You can get waived past deportations, crimes and even aggravated felonies among many other types of items that cannot be otherwise waived. Therefore, if you are the victim for example of domestic violence because your spouse abused you and you do not qualify for VAWA, this might be your best option. Note there are many types of crimes that qualify. Also, if you qualify, there are many types of family members that could get the derivative U Visa status.

This particular sample is an actual U Visa Petition for somebody who was a victim of a crime of which there are many that qualify. Of course, it would be sure that the ultimate beneficiary had the requisite requirements needed to fulfill the U visa and that in fact they were such a victim.
