Re: U Visa Info Please
I believe you would have had to apply for it back in 2004. Its something you do at the time of the crime.

Re: U Visa Info Please
As far as I know, you still should be able to apply for the u-visa as long as you filed a police report and cooperated with the law enforcement agencies. Your felony conviction definitely can become an issue. Street Robbery may or may not be a felonious assault. You need to prove that you suffered substantial mental or physical harm. I would definitely bspeak to a lawyer about this.

Re: U Visa Info Please
Perjury and depending on the Robbery charge you might have a strong case for a U-visa.The process is certainly a lot more complicated and time consuming than a lot of people are willing to admit.
If you're in removal proceedings I wouldn't worry about that too much if you have the paperwork proving you are a "crime victim".The most important requirement is getting the certification asap and it seems you might be able to get 2 of them for your case.You should hire an immigration attorney asap to get this going.If you have any other questions you can always PM me. |
Re: U Visa Info Please
ianus thanks so much i am totally new on here and dont know how to pm :-). i have 2 attorneys set up just not decided on one to go with yet. i have all the paper work including cops totally false report.i have been speaking to the DA office and the actual guy that is convicting him of this. he said he would like to have a look at it before he fills it in. i have no doubts they will do it or the police or the public defender office. i am just waiting on my report about the street robbery back in 2004. these guys were cought doing about 12 robberys in a week ended in a high speed carchase. so i am just praying that i will get that paperwork to as i went to police station and picked one out back then. i have no problems either with dealing with the mental stress. got 9 month ancle braclet completed 15 month drug programme with the felony charge.. all to be thowing out of court because of cop lieing on report. i am very nervous about this whole thing thou as i been here 11 year ;-) thanks again. peace bro.

Re: U Visa Info Please
Here's one precedence. Mardoqueu Silva was a victim of a crime in 1995. He filed for the U-visa in 2009 and eventually it was approved.

How long you're here illegally present and how you entered are all irrelevant and if the felony was thrown out also I wouldn't worry about that.What is relevant is what does your Notice to Appear say you're being charged with concerning your removability,what does the NTA say exactly? |
