Opposing Defendants’ Requests for U and T Filings Practice Advisory
Opposing Defendants’ Requests for U and T Filings Practice Advisory
Undocumented immigrants who are victims of serious crime may apply for U or T Visas that, if granted, provide them with temporary legal status. U and T Visas provide many benefits to these vulnerable victims, but they also reduce crime by promoting crime reporting and victim cooperation with law enforcement and prosecutors. This practice advisory is a valuable resource for immigration attorneys who may be unfamiliar with victims’ rights and how they can leverage victims’ rights to fight a defense subpoena for U and T Visa applications. The advisory details what rights may be implicated and how to assert those rights in a motion to quash. Authored by NCVLI and Asista Immigration Services.
