You may have heard the news announced on June 14 that the Biden Administration is making changes to help with the U visa backlog. Here’s what this means for you: https://bit.ly/2TBr26j
On June 14, 2021, the Biden Administration announced a new policy intended to ease the tremendous harm of the immigration backlog on immigrant survivors of serious crime. The policy, which specifically affects immigrant survivors eligible for the U Visa, will authorize survivors to work while their applications await final approval.
"We're hopeful that the Administration's announcement will make a real difference in survivors' lives over the next couple of years. The decade-long wait for approval leaves our clients in a painful and dangerous limbo. We applaud this first step in moving toward a more just system for immigrant survivors."
Together with SMU Law's Hunter Center, HRI released a report last year detailing the human toll of the backlog on immigrant survivors. Read more here: https://bit.ly/U-report-2020.
