Enhancements to U Category Help to Better Protect Crime Victims

The U nonimmigrant category provides immigration benefits to foreign nationals who have been the victims of certain serious crimes. These individuals may be able to obtain immigration benefits under the U nonimmigrant category by assisting U.S. law enforcement in its efforts to prosecute the perpetrator/s of said crime. On June 15, 2014, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released an interim policy memorandum to provide guidance on changes made to the program in March 2013.
