In this segment, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas answers a viewer’s question about the current status and processing time of U visas. She explains that U visas are available to victims of certain serious crimes—such as armed robbery, domestic violence, and sexual abuse—who cooperate with law enforcement and court proceedings. The visa allows the holder to remain in the United States, include certain family members, and obtain a work permit. However, she notes that the waiting line for a U visa is long. Based on her case experience (not official USCIS data), she observes that applicants who filed their U‑visa petitions around 2018 are now receiving work permits, indicating that processing for that cohort is moving forward.
