Matian Firm Managing Immigration Attorney Nancy Reyes Guarderas Talks U-Visas – Press Release
“The U-Visa is an amazing opportunity for so many immigrants to obtain immigration facilitation despite their victimization, and in many cases their only possible way to find the ultimate peace of mind so many deserve – immigration stability.”
The U-Visa was created to protect migrant victims of serious victims
LOS ANGELES – January 14, 2021 – Abogada Nancy Reyes Guarderas of the Matian Firm is due to appear on California radio and television networks to discuss the U-Visa and its application process.
U nonimmigrant status (U visa) is reserved for victims of crime and their families who have suffered significant physical or mental damage as a result of the crime and who have helped or will assist in the investigation or prosecution of these criminal activities. The U Visa allows these victims to enter or stay in the United States when they may otherwise not be allowed. The law also serves to help law enforcement agencies better serve victims of crime and prosecute perpetrators of the crime.
Reyes said, “The U-Visa is an amazing opportunity for so many immigrants to obtain immigration facilitation despite their victimization, and in many cases their only possible way to find the ultimate peace of mind so many deserve – immigration stability.”
When Congress passed the Human Trafficking and Violence Protection Act in 2000, they also created the U-Visa.
