Criminal Investigation Visas
Definition:
A criminal investigation visa (S visa) is given
to those foreigners who can assist in investigations for the U.S law enforcement.
The S visa is granted for those individuals who can aid the U.S government
to investigate and prosecute crimes and terrorist activities. To qualify,
the Attorney General must show that the person has reliable information and
is willing to share the information by testifying in court and that their
presence is necessary for the success of the case being investigated.
Consequences of Criminal Investigation Visas:
Although the S visa can be vital to the outcome of an investigation, typically only 200 people are admitted each year. The individual applying for the S visa must provide information to the U.S government or law enforcement. The Attorney General is authorized to exclude those involved in Nazi persecution and genocide.What a Lawyer can do for you:

An immigration lawyer can help you prepare all the necessary documents that may affect your application. Standard immigration laws are very complex and difficult to understand.
