U visa and immigration attorneys will be able to help you with any questions about legal requirements related to your case. They have previous experience on the subject and will know how to answer all your questions. In order to process a U visa, the following requirements must be met:
– Being abused by a US citizen or permanent resident (not necessarily married to him).
– Have no prior criminal record in your native country and / or the United States.
– If you are applying for the visa within the American territory, it may not have been ten years since you were expelled from the same place if that was the reason for your expulsion.
– Be willing to testify against the abuser during the immigration process.
– Comply with all other legal requirements established by USCIS.
If you meet all the above requirements, it is likely that your lawyer will advise you to file a U visa petition. Remember that in a situation as difficult as this, you should obtain the legal advice of a lawyer specialized in international law and migration to help you solve your case efficiently.
