In my previous "Migratory Consultation" column at La OpiniónI explained that the U visa is part of a humanitarian program of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and is granted to victims of certain crimes who are willing to cooperate with authorities in the investigation or prosecution of the criminals who assaulted them.
The U visa gives the beneficiary permission to live temporarily in the U.S. for a period of 4 years. But what happens after that?
In my column this week, I explain how to apply for permanent residency if the government granted you a U visa.
