U-Visa For Victims Of Crime Attorney In Fort Worth, Texas
What Is A U-Visa?
If you’ve been the victim of a crime that occurred in the United States or violated U.S. laws, you may qualify for a U Non-Immigrant Visa. This visa is designed to support victims of certain crimes who have suffered mental or physical abuse and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of the crime.
To be eligible, you must show that you were harmed by one of the qualifying crimes, that you cooperated with the authorities, and that the crime had a serious impact on your well-being. This visa not only gives you temporary legal status in the U.S., but it also plays a role in helping law enforcement hold the offender accountable.

Will a U-Visa Qualify Me for a Green Card?
Although a U visa is classified as a non-immigrant visa, it provides important benefits to those who receive it. With a valid U visa, you may be eligible to get a driver’s license, open a bank account, pursue education at a vocational or academic institution, and work legally in the United States.
After holding a U visa for three years, you may also be eligible to apply for a green card and become a lawful permanent resident. To qualify for this next step, it’s important that you have followed all requests from law enforcement and cooperated fully with the investigation or prosecution related to the crime.
Arzoo Connor, based in Fort Worth, Texas, helps individuals understand their rights and stay on track throughout the U visa process—from the initial application to possible permanent residency. If you're navigating this path, legal guidance can make a meaningful difference.
How Can I Apply for a U-Visa?
The first step is to reach out to the law enforcement agency handling the investigation of the crime you experienced. It’s important to cooperate with their requests for information so they can recognize you as a victim. During this stage, having an attorney can help you understand what details you should share and protect your interests.
Next, you’ll need to complete the U visa application form and gather all the necessary supporting documents. Once everything is ready, your application will be submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or a U.S. embassy.
You don’t have to face this process alone. ARC Legal Services, LLC in Fort Worth, Texas, is available to guide you through each step and provide support along the way.
