A U visa is designed for which applicants?

• A. Undocumented immigrant crime victims who have assisted or are assisting law enforcement.
• B. Tourists visiting the U.S.
• C. Offenders who assist law enforcement.
• D. Victims of non-violent offenses.

Answer: (A)

U visas are for victims of qualifying crimes who have suffered harm and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution. The key point is the requirement to cooperate with authorities, which is what grants eligibility. The best choice reflects both being a crime victim and the obligation to help law enforcement, including those who may be undocumented. The other options don’t fit because tourists aren’t typically victims covered by this program, offenders cannot benefit, and the visa’s eligibility hinges on cooperation with law enforcement rather than the non-violent nature of the offense.
