Which agencies can certify the I-918B?

The U visa is an important tool for victims of certain criminal activities who cooperate with investigations and judicial proceedings. One step in this process involves obtaining a certification via the I-918B form, which attests to the victim”s participation and assistance in the investigation or criminal proceeding.

To ensure the validity and integrity of the certification, it is essential that this declaration is issued by a recognized authority or agency with the competence to confirm the facts. In the case of the I-918B, the agencies that can certify the form generally include those linked to law enforcement and the judicial system. This includes local, state, or even federal police departments, such as the FBI, within their jurisdiction, whenever they have conducted investigations related to the reported incidents.

Similarly, judicial authorities, such as prosecutors or officers responsible for the investigation, may also provide this certification, provided they are familiar with the case and authorized to do so under current regulations. It is important to emphasize that the certification must come from an official and accredited entity for USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) to recognize the truthfulness of the information provided and the victim”s cooperation with the authorities.

Therefore, seeking a specialized and trustworthy agent or agency is essential, as well as verifying their experience in certifying these documents. We highlight that strictly following immigration laws, using official sources, and relying on trusted professionals or consultancies are fundamental measures to avoid fraud, scams, or marketing campaigns that promise unfounded results.

Throughout any immigration process, transparency and compliance with legal requirements are indispensable for the petition to obtain the desired approval. If you have additional questions, it is always advisable to seek reliable sources and updated information directly from the competent government agencies.
