In the complex and often daunting world of U.S. immigration, receiving a bona fide determination for a U nonimmigrant status petition is a significant milestone. This approval not only acknowledges the legitimacy of an individual's petition but also opens the door to employment authorization and deferred action, providing a glimmer of hope and stability for those awaiting their U visa due to the statutory cap.
Understanding the Bona Fide Determination
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) conducts a bona fide determination to assess the legitimacy of a U nonimmigrant status petition. This process is crucial for individuals who have fallen victim to criminal activities and are seeking refuge and a chance to rebuild their lives in the United States. The approval of a bona fide determination signifies that the petitioner's case is genuine and merits a favorable exercise of discretion, allowing them to remain in the U.S. and work legally while waiting for their U visa.
The Path to Employment Authorization and Deferred Action
Upon receiving a bona fide determination, petitioners are eligible to apply for employment authorization. This critical step enables individuals to support themselves and their families, contributing to their communities and the U.S. economy while their U visa application is pending. Deferred action further ensures that these individuals are not considered a priority for removal from the country, providing them with a sense of security and stability.
