U Visa - Page 2

I cooperated with authorities anything and everything they had to ask. Thank you Supergsporty for help and condolence.

For my biometrics I had to take my passport (it's valid). Once they take your fingerprints they stamp you biometrics appointment. In AZ they use that for a limited form of legal status. Well at least at the DMV. I didn't recieve any evaluation as I had proof from health reports of physical injury. As for armed robbery it may be on the list....

Abduction Incest Rape
Abusive Sexual Contact Involuntary Servitude Sexual Assault
Blackmail Kidnapping Sexual Exploitation
Domestic Violence Manslaughter Slave Trade
Extortion Murder Torture
False Imprisonment Obstruction of Justice Trafficking
Felonious Assault Peonage Unlawful Criminal Restraint
Female Genital Mutilation Perjury Witness Tampering
Hostage Prostitution Attempt, conspiracy or solicitation to commit any of the above crimes

These are the crimes of which victims are eligible for a visa...

According to the Vermont Service Center they are now doing applications dated 'April 25, 2011',so it looks like you have sometime before you get the actual approval of your application.

Thanks Ianus. I've waited for legal status my whole life. What's a little more wait going to do.?

AFAIK,You're currently legal somewhat.I think they place people with pending applications in deferred action until a decision is rendered on your case.You should carry a receipt of your application until that time so that you don't have any issues with Arizona and its various immigration issues......even CBP shouldn't be an issue here anymore!

I think they did away with deffered action for u visa applicants...But I will still carry my documentation just in case.

I am so sorry that you had to go through that. From rudimentary googling, it seems like you are a good candidate for the U-VISA. Please consult a lawyer immediately. If you can't afford legal fees, reach out to the community non-profits who work with immigrants. Where do you live? I will do some research to find a list of non-profit orgs for you.

Take a look at this article. http://www.scrippsnews.com/content/o...witness-crimes

you may find theres more appropriate forums for this this is not related to the Dream act and there wont be much info on this here, if anything see a lawyer bc its still pretty new but yea im sure other forums have more experience with this stuff

My parent is doing the u visa how long did it take to get to the biometrics evaluation???
