Posting for a friend. Below incident happened to my friend.
Hi. Iam currently working on H1B in Chicago. While I was on F1 visa, I was a victim of armed robbery in December 2018, I was beaten badly by brass knuckles and was lying on road when police reached me. and I still have each and every report related to the incident like photographs, police report(case number). Some of my friends advice me to apply for U visa because of this incident but I didn't proceed with it.
Now im thinking of applying for U visa but I have some major questions 1) Can I apply for U VISA depending on the old case as this happened in Dec 2018 2) Will my current visa status get affected by it? 3) How long does it take to get EAD or approval? Do I also has chance to get rejected?
Edit - He also got Supplement B, U Nonimmigrant status certification from law enforcement (police department).
