Abstract
The U Visa is a nonimmigrant status for victims who are helpful to law enforcement or government officials in investigating or prosecuting criminal activity. An early step in applying for a U Visa is submitting a certification request to a certifying agency to certify that the applicant is assisting or has assisted in prosecuting a crime. The law requires law enforcement agencies to submit data to the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) on U Visa certification requests in Oregon that the CJC will report to the legislature. This report covers the second year of this data collection, including certification requests received during 2021.
