U Visa – An important tool for crime victims to obtain legal status

January 6th, 2012 Tushar Mathur

Many immigrants in the United States are hesitant to approach police and other law enforcement officers when they become crime victims. For people who are in the U.S. without legal status, they try to avoid contacts with police officers for fear that their illegal status may be exposed. Even legal immigrants are sometimes afraid to approach police in the U.S. because of cultural differences and language barriers.

The basic reason for this requirement defined by the United States government, is that the person who has acquired the advanced skills and knowledge from the United States by the virtue of the exchange visitor program, he or she should go back to the home country and spread the knowledge to people there.
