Did you know that many F1 students get U visas?

Recently we have a surge of F1 visa students who are eligible to file for the U visas. Scenarios that we meet are usually someone who is at work (even unlawful work) or just visiting a store for example, are attacked at their place of work with a deadly weapon such as a gun or a knife. Although the students were not hurt physically, it mentally disturbed them and eventually they helped the law enforcement to arrest the perpetrators or in their investigation. Such cases are common because there are many cases of assaults with deadly weapon happening all over the United States. The other common situations are those who are in a relationship and are victims of domestic violence. Those might also be eligible for a U visa. The U visa is a powerful tool and those who are eligible can actually obtain an EAD and ultimately a greencard. We recommend you watch the video with the slides and call us at 510 7425887, should you need help.
