I-918B U Nonimmigrant Status Certification
The law enforcement certification that makes a U visa petition possible at all. A prosecutor, police agency, judge, or other certifying official confirms the applicant was the victim of a qualifying crime and has been, is, or is likely to be helpful. Without a signed certification dated within six months, USCIS cannot approve the petition.
