Expedited U Visa
Mar 01, 2018OUTCOME: Granted
"Nicole recently handled a pro bono case for [a Legal Aid Service of Broward County client] who was a victim of a violent crime. She assisted the client with expedited processing for a U Visa. This app ... lication normally takes between 3 – 4 years to be processed with US Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). Nicole requested expedited processing because her client became severely ill and was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, underwent kidney removal surgery, and was unable to walk well due to excruciating pain. The expedited processing was approved and, as a result, the client was able to file for an employment authorization document and was able to get medical insurance through the marketplace to help her with her medical issues."
