The law enforcement U visa certification (Form I-918 Supplement B) is a required document. We work closely with you to communicate with the appropriate agencies to obtain this critical certification.
Your petition must be carefully prepared and submitted to USCIS. We help gather all supporting evidence, medical reports, police records, affidavits, and more, and ensure your paperwork is filed correctly and timely manner.
