In this brief segment, immigration attorney Lorena Rivas explains that the final approval of U‑visas is currently taking about six to seven years after biometrics. However, applicants can obtain an employment authorization document (EAD) earlier if they qualify for a good‑faith determination. Specifically, anyone who filed a U‑visa petition before September 30, 2017 is eligible to receive a work permit based on this good‑faith recognition, which is being issued a few years ahead of the final visa approval. Rivas notes that while the work‑permit process is slightly ahead, it still experiences minor delays.
