January 29, 2009
The Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman, established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002, provides independent analysis of problems encountered by individuals and employers interacting with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and proposes changes to mitigate those problems.
I. Executive Summary
The Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (Ombudsman) has studied the visa process for victims of trafficking (T visa) and victims of certain criminal activity (U visa). These non-immigrant visas were established by Congress to provide temporary legal status to victims of trafficking and enumerated crimes who assist with the investigations or prosecutions of the criminal activity. The Ombudsman has developed recommendations for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to improve the immigration process for T and U visa applicants.
