In this short, the attorney explains the timeline for obtaining lawful permanent residence (green card) after receiving a U visa, which is granted to victims of crime who cooperate with law enforcement. She states that a person must first hold the U visa for three years before becoming eligible to file an adjustment‑of‑status (Form I‑485) application. Once the I‑485 is submitted, the processing time is typically about one to one‑and‑a‑half years, though it can vary. The overall message is that applicants should be prepared for a multi‑year wait—three years before eligibility plus roughly a year to a year‑and‑a‑half for the I‑485 adjudication.
