  2. It is common seeing undocumented immigrants being targeted by criminals due to their illegal status. These abusers ignore that non-citizens can seek legal protection under specific immigration laws that may apply to these trying circumstances. Immigrant victims of crimes can seek a temporary legal status with a U-visa. This visa provides a legal status to crime victims that would like to collaborate in the investigation of criminal activity.

  3. Different type of Crimes There are many other types of crimes that may also qualify for protection under a U Visa. You should consult with your Salt Lake City victim visa attorney who can study your circumstances in order to determine if they qualify for receiving protection under a U Visa. Crimes such as domestic violence and sexual assault are included in the protection. Also, some undocumented immigrants tend to experience crimes related to wage fraud and illegal trafficking.

  4. What’s the purpose of this visa? The U Visa has become an amazing resource for law enforcement, especially for illegal immigrants who fear deportation if they report suspicious criminal activity. Undocumented immigrants who assist the police in criminal investigations can request a temporary legal status. These illegal aliens are crucial in the efforts to investigate and prosecute unreported crime.

  6. Filing forms The non-citizen victim needs to file some forms that will help him or her attain the temporary immigration status. Form I-918, for example, can be filed only after obtaining a certification for federal or state law enforcement, including local authorities or anybody else involved in the investigation.
