That's what the law says" Sounds easy at first but the US government is not stupid.

Far be it for me to disagree with a pdf, but if it were this easy, every Abogado would be having ads on Univision with "Have you been punched? If so, call us today and we can help get you a Uvisa! Did you try to dance with a girl at a bar and her drunk boyfriend punched you? If so, call us today! Can't find the perps? No problem! Haven't been punched yet? No problem! We'll punch you ourselves if we have to".

At any rate, it's not my neck on the line so I hope he does go for it just so we can see if it's possible.
