What is a U visa? U visas can be granted to immigrants to the United States who have been victims of certain serious crimes. This type of temporary visa allows them to remain in the country up to four years in exchange for helping law enforcement authorities investigate and prosecute those who were responsible for the crimes.

In addition, the person applying for a U visa can also file for a visa for their spouse and children. If the applicant is under the age of 21, he or she can also file for his spouse, children, siblings who are not married and under the age of 18, and his own parents to obtain a temporary visa to the United States. The applicant is required to obtain a certification from law enforcement. In addition, there are only 10,000 visas granted per year, and as a result, there is a very long waitlist for “approvable” cases.
