FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
United States Citizen and Immigration Services said on his website "Each year 10,000 visas are available for victims of crime who have suffered substantial mental or physical abuse and are willing to help law enforcement authorities to investigate or prosecute those crimes. The U-Visa requires certification of assistance from law enforcement.
The U-Visa program was created by Congress to strengthen the law enforcement community is ability to investigate and prosecute cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other crimes while offering protection to victims. More than 76,000 victims and their family members have received U-visa since the program was implemented.
USCIS will continue to accept U-Visa petitions and process them in order in which they are received. USCIS will resume issuing U Visa on October 1, 2013, the first day of fiscal year 2014 and is when visas will be available again." See www.uscis.gov
