Q. What are my visa options if I am a victim of a crime?

A. You may be eligible for a U-Visa. Not every crime is eligible, but the USCIS will generally give benefits to victims of crimes that either directly or indirectly involve some form of violence. Some qualifying crimes are domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, obstruction of justice or witness tampering, kidnapping, extortion, felonious assault, and the solicitation to commit any of these crimes.
