Doraville U-Visa Case Process

The crucial factor in applying for a U-visa is asking a police officer or the prosecutor in your case to sign a form called the Supp-B. This form acknowledges that you helped bring a criminal who harmed you to justice.

Even if the accused in your case is acquitted or convicted of a crime other than the one committed against you, you may still be eligible for a U-visa. We work closely with law enforcement and prosecutors, and our attorneys can help you identify the right person to sign your Supp-B. We can assist you with filling out Part I and, along with your cover letter, send the form and letter to the proper person. Then we follow up for you. Once you receive the signed Supp-B Form, we help you file your U-visa application. If you are in detention, we help you request release while applying to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for your visa. The signed Supp-B is the essential first step in the Doraville U-visa procedure.

USCIS does not automatically grant U-visas—it reviews and approves each application. However, receiving a U-visa confirms your cooperation with law enforcement in prosecuting a criminal.

A U-visa gives you temporary legal immigration status so you can work, but it also provides this status for authorized family members. By complying with USCIS regulations, you may become eligible for lawful permanent residency. Our Doraville attorneys are ready to assist you with the U-visa process.

The U.S. offers many programs to help you come here and stay for a better life in a safe place. If you are a crime victim, we could help you turn the trauma into an opportunity. No one deserves to be victimized, and by helping law enforcement bring your oppressor to justice, you might qualify for a U-visa.

A U-visa is a green card that gives you legal status and allows you to work while you are waiting for USCIS to grant you permanent residency. Contact one of our Doraville U-visa case process lawyers now to learn if you have grounds for applying.
