Dear Querist,

 

One may apply for a U visa under such circumstances. A person who is a victim or has suffered depending upon the proximity of suffering is granted the visa. 

 

Proximate harm is not clearly defined within U.S. immigration law. However, it is broadly understood to mean that the actions of the perpetrator were a significant factor in causing harm to the victim. Regardless of whether you are a direct or indirect victim, you must have suffered substantial physical or mental harm as a result of the crime. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) decides what qualifies as "substantial" harm on a case-by-case basis.

 

USCIS may also grant U status to bystanders as direct victims if they suffered unusually severe harm as a result of having witnessed the criminal activity.

 

Regards, 

Palak
