U-Visas

Immigration Relief for Victims of Domestic Violence and Other Crimes

 

If you are the victim of domestic violence or another violent crime or sex crime, you may be eligible for a U-visa. A U-visa will give you temporary legal status to live and work in the U.S. It may also allow you to get a green card after three years in U status.

The lawyers at the Glenwood Springs law office of Ted Hess & Associates, LLC, help immigrants throughout western Colorado get U-visas. To get a U-visa, you must cooperate with police and prosecutors.

We may be able to help you and your children or family members get U-visas. We charge flat-rate fees for this service, and we will put you on a payment plan that you can afford. Do not worry about the money – worry about your safety and your immigration.

Our lawyers have more than 50 years of combined legal experience – you can trust that we will get the job done for you. We will help you:

  • Get the records you need
  • Write required declarations
  • Organize, certify and present your petition
  • Prepare a waiver application
  • Advocate your case to the government

Who Qualifies For A U-Visa?

To be eligible for a U-visa, you must have suffered domestic violence, sexual assault, rape, incest, sexual exploitation, abusive sexual contact, kidnapping, false imprisonment, felonious assault or extortion. You can get a U-visa even if the person who hurt you was not convicted of a crime or has fled to Mexico.

If you are in immigration court or have a deportation order, you can still get a U-visa. Both men and women can get U-visas.

It is very important that an experienced attorney helps you apply for your U-visa. Making a mistake on the petition will jeopardize your immigration path and, possibly, your safety.
