U Visa provisional approval for menacing with a knife where there is no physical harm
June 2, 2014
I received a provisional approval for a U Visa that associate attorney Diane Grover and I have been working on for quite some time. A U Visa is for an alien without status who has been the victim of a crime such as assault, rape, etc. This provisional approval is huge, because I was skeptical about the Immigration Service (CIS) approving an application where the crime was menacing (with a knife) without any physical harm. All U Visas are given out for this fiscal year, so my client gets deferred action (protection from deportation) until the application is formally approved next fiscal year.
