New Fiscal Year Means U Visas Now Available

Today is the first day of fiscal year 2016. It has a lot of implications for the immigration world, but I’ll note just one: 10,000 U visas just became available.

Many who were eligible for U visas last year were unable to get them because the allotment ran out by December 14, just two months into the 2015 fiscal year.

Eligible individuals who could not get a visa last year likely received deferred action. But today is their day to dust off that Form I-765 and try again.
