If you have been the victim of a serious crime in the United States or are helping law enforcement with an investigation, you may qualify for a special immigration benefit known as a U-visa. Applying for a U-visa in Palm Bay could help you stay in the U.S. while assisting the authorities.
Contact Jag Law, PLLC to get in touch with a compassionate U-visa attorney who could treat your case with dignity and care. Our attorney, Shoba Jaglal, has personal experience with the immigration process and understands the stress and uncertainty that comes with it.
U-visas are available to noncitizens who have been victims of certain crimes, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, kidnapping, trafficking, or other serious offenses. You must also have endured substantial physical or mental harm and abuse as a result of the crime and be willing to assist law enforcement or prosecutors with their investigation or prosecution for crimes that occurred in the United States or have violated U.S. laws.
You do not need to have lawful status in the U.S. to apply for a U-visa in Palm Bay, and many who apply do not have immigration documents or have overstayed their visa. You must simply be willing to cooperate with the authorities and provide necessary documentation for your U-visa eligibility. If you are unsure whether your situation meets the requirements, reach out to Jag Law, PLLC. We could determine whether you are eligible and work with you to obtain the necessary documentation to apply.
The U-visa application process can be complex, but a Palm Bay attorney could provide clear guidance that makes it more manageable. After determining your eligibility, we could help prepare your application, including but not limited to:
There is a limited number of U-visas issued each year, so even approved applicants may be placed on a waiting list. While waiting, it is possible to remain in the U.S. lawfully and potentially receive a work permit.

We know your story is deeply personal and are committed to helping you tell it in a way that meets U.S. immigration requirements and respects your experience. We could keep you informed, answer your questions clearly, and advocate for you throughout the application process.
