I was a victim of a crime and I don't have status in the US! Can I talk to the police?

If you don't have documentation in the USA and you were a victim of a crime, it's very important that you speak to the police to report the crime. Your immigration status is completely irrelevant, and the police should not ask you about that. Beyond your right to protect yourself, being a victim of a crime in the United States can make you eligible for a visa that eventually leads to residency. Although not all crimes qualify, some of those that do include sexual abuse, rape, kidnapping, armed assault, extortion, among many other crimes. If you or a family member were victims, you may qualify for this type of visa, but it's very important to report the crime to the police. Here at Villar & Garcia, we have a lot of experience with this type of visa, and we would love to evaluate your case to see if you qualify. Call us at 915-314-2363 for a free evaluation of your case.
