Whether you were brought to this country against your will as part of a crime or you became the victim of criminal activity while living here, there are visas available to protect you. As long as you can prove you were victimized and are willing to help law enforcement catch and prosecute the offenders, you could be eligible for a U or T visa that allows you to live and work in the U.S. for a few years. The right one depends on your circumstances, so contact immigration lawyers to learn about these visas.
