Former Immigration Judge Helping You Achieve the American Dream

Hollywood, FL Immigration Attorneys Helping Victims of Crime

What is the Purpose of a U Visa?

The U visa, also known as a visa for crime victims, was established as a form of humanitarian relief for individuals who were the victim of certain crimes, have cooperated with law enforcement, or have suffered mental or physical harm. This visa is part of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 and people who are granted a U visa have permission to live and work in the United States for a period of up to four years.

If you have suffered substantial abuse and are in need of a U visa, you will need to hire a Hollywood visa lawyer from Garcia, Miranda & Gonzalez-Rua, P.A. to represent you and assist you with the process. There are certain qualifications which you must have and be able to prove in order to apply for this type of visa.

What Are the Requirements for a U-Visa?

Aliens who have been the victim of a crime and are in the process of assisting or have assisted with the investigation or prosecution may be eligible for a U visa.

In order to prove your eligibility for a U visa, you must meet the following requirements:

  • The victim must have filed a report with the police or another law enforcement agency
  • The victim must have suffered physical or mental abuse (as a direct result of the crime)
  • The victim or the victim's children will experience more suffering if deported or removed from the U.S.
  • The crime must have taken place in the United States

There is an allocation of 10,000 U visas that can be issued each year, so it is important that you hire a Hollywood visa lawyer to represent you and get started on the application process immediately.

For an in-office case consultation in our Hollywood location, contact us today at (888) 340-8424. Our U-Visa lawyers can also be reached in our Miami office at (305) 676-8634. Se habla Español.

Client Testimonials

  • I would recommend his services to anyone at anytime.

    “I had several bad experiences with my previous Attorney and a grim outlook on my case. Mr Garcia decided to take the chance on my case despite the possible negative outcome. He was very confident and gave me lots of hope and showed much care and interest into getting an approval on my case. I am glad that I chose him to represent me, he is certainly God sent! I would recommend his services to anyone at anytime.”

  • Grateful

    “Before meeting Mr. Garcia, I spoke to several attorneys that did not feel comfortable taking my case. Mr. Garcia took my case without hesitation even though the odds was against me. I was facing voter fraud and other charges. He never made me feel bad about making a huge mistake or I could possibly lose this case. He never gave up on this case and I honestly could never repay him. I know that God was with us, a miracle happened and we won the case. My family and I are so grateful!”

  • A man with good heart.

    “Thank you for your comment with all your understanding and support. It is very important to understand feelings of clients, not only to solve their problems as a lawyer but as a man with good heart. Even if I posted question with different title, and not about immigration case, you still gave me advise.”

  • Attentive and efficient immigration attorney

    “It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Taveras. As young newly weds, my husband and I were unaware of the complex immigration process we were facing. However, Mr. Taveras and his team made our experience smooth and efficient from the moment we walked into our very first consultation all the way through. Just five and a half months later my husband obtained his permanent residency card. We definitely recommend the GM&G offices. Thank you Javier for being so attentive to our case, we greatly appreciate it!”
