One of our trusted immigration attorneys explains that a U Visa provides a path to a green card.
What is Form I-929?
A big part of a U Visa is form I-192. U visa applicants who have assisted law enforcement in capturing violent criminals may be granted Form I-192, which is a broad forgiveness program. This pardon can be the deciding factor between being permanently barred from the United States or being granted a green card. The scope of the pardon includes entry into the US without a visa, deportation orders, and criminal convictions. This means that those with prior criminal records or deportation orders may still be eligible for a U Visa. Nonetheless, not all grounds of inadmissibility are covered under this pardon, so consulting with an immigration attorney is advisable.
