What Is Adjustment of Status for U Visa Recipients?
Certain individuals who have been granted U nonimmigrant status may apply for lawful permanent residence (a green card) after meeting eligibility requirements.

• Individuals who continue to meet eligibility requirements under the U visa category
Each case is unique and eligibility may depend on several factors, including presence requirements and supporting documentation.
