Does anyone have any information on this?
I have a single mother, she has been through hell. When i was a kid she went through a number of abusive relationships. Anyways
We talked to a lawyer and we are submitting our U-VISA soon. We are about %90 done with the application. The lawyer says we have a large chance of success since we qualify. The other day he mentioned that we would receive work permits soon.

My question is, Has anyone applied for the U-VISA?


Ive been stressing alot lately and i need to know if anyone has received any information on it.

Lopez helped police and identified her attacker in court. Before trial, he pleaded guilty to attempted murder and kidnapping and was sentenced to life in prison. Lopez said she thought she would receive the visa, or at least the interim relief, when the detective signed the application more than a year ago. She is still waiting.

Her immigration attorney, Alisa Daubenspeck with the Central American Resource Center, said only two of her clients have been approved for U-visas; about 100 more are waiting. Several have been waiting for four or five years. Daubenspeck said she can't give them any sort of timeline.

After they submit fingerprints, she said, the applications "just drop off the face of the Earth."

"There is no evidence there is any processing being done on these petitions."

As a crime victim who cooperated with law enforcement, Garcia was able to apply for a visa that would grant him temporary legal status in the United States. But nearly a year after submitting his application, Garcia hasn't received a response from the government.

Just a heads up on the wait you might encounter.

^If I'm not mistaken the "U-visa" comes in the form of a work permit valid for 4 years.On the third year of holding the permit,you can apply for permanent residency.

Yes, but that's after the U-VISA is approved, his question was if someone get a work permit until it aproved or rejected, I think the answer is no.
