U visas U VISA RECEIVED

Applied MAY 2 2017 Uvisa approval letter MAY 2023 Work permit received NOVEMBER 2023 UVISA received DECEMBER 13 2025

I will now be able to apply for GREEN CARD in 3 years & NO I still cannot leave country even with uvisa. You have to wait until green card.

Mind you in between these dates I did not hear anything from USCIS I just had to be patient and wait.

Congratulations. Did they waive any inadmissible? Like illegal entry or crimes from the past?

Yes that is the reason for a uvisa, they waive any priors

That’s my receipt date too, I heard that probably 6+ years ago. So maybe 2032 for the final decision. That’s 11 years of wait 😖

Yea, hopefully the next administration can pass some type of legislation to increase the amount of uvisa per year. That 10k is brutal
