How do I declare the date I entered the USA on the form?

It”s common to have doubts when filling out U visa forms, especially regarding the date of entry into the United States. I will explain simply how you can correctly declare this information.

Identify the entry date by checking your passport or the electronic entry record (Form I-94, if applicable). This date, usually indicated on the stamp you received when you entered the country, must be transcribed onto the form in the field designated for “date of entry.” Pay attention to the requested format-usually day/month/year-so there are no discrepancies in your application.

It is important that you verify your official documents to ensure the accuracy of the information, as precision at this stage is fundamental for the progression of your immigration process. When there is uncertainty, seeking guidance through official sources or specialized professionals can help prevent complications.

Remember to strictly follow United States immigration laws and be cautious of offers promising miraculous results through misleading marketing campaigns. A careful review of your documents and access to correct information are essential to maintaining the integrity of your process.

I hope this information has been helpful and that you feel more confident when filling out the form. If more questions arise, continue seeking clarification from reliable sources.
