QUESTION
U non immigration status on a incident that happened 2 years back?
Asked on Sep 19th, 2017 on Immigration - California
More details to this question:
I and my friend were coming out form a wall-mart when i was in Tampa, FL 2 years back and one our way back we were held up by a guy with a gun who asked from us anything we had if we wanted to live. My friend had a cigarette pack on him which he handed over and I a few dollars. This happened 2 years back but we didn't file a report because we were shocked and didn't want to get involved in a lengthy police case. Is it still possible for us to file a report and would we be eligible for U nonmigrant visa?

I do not believe that you will find that this is a viable case for a U visa since the incident was not reported to the police two years ago and they would likely not be interested in looking into such a small case in which the perpetrators would likely not be caught.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
