Who needs to sign the I-918B?

The I-918B is a key component in the U visa process, designed for victims of certain crimes who cooperate with authorities in the investigation or prosecution of the offense.

It serves so that an official designated by a governmental authority-such as a police officer, prosecutor, or other qualified official-can verify and certify essential information about the incident and the cooperation of the affected individual.

In practical terms, the I-918B must be signed only by an officer who has the legal authority to issue this certification. This person is usually a representative of law enforcement, a public prosecutor, or another justice agent involved in the case.

By signing the form, this official confirms that the crime occurred, that you cooperated with the investigations or criminal proceedings, and that you meet the requirements to be considered a U visa beneficiary.

It is important to emphasize that the official must have personal knowledge of the facts and circumstances described in your application.

It is crucial to pay close attention to correctly filling out the form, and remember to strictly follow US immigration laws. Seek guidance from reputable and specialized organizations in the area, avoiding scams and miracle promises that guarantee results.

This safe approach helps ensure the validity and compliance of your immigration process.
