Attorneys and summer associates will be trained to represent inMotion-referred clients in obtaining U Nonimmigrant ("U visa") status in the United States. U Nonimmigrant status is offered to a victim of certain crimes, like domestic violence and rape, who cooperates in the investigation or prosecution of her attacker. A grant of U Nonimmigrant status allows an immigrant and her derivative family members to work and live lawfully in the United States, and creates a pathway to their being able to obtain lawful permanent resident status. It also allows a derivative family member residing abroad to enter the United States lawfully to be reunited with the crime victim.

Summer associates will work under the supervision of admitted attorneys from their firms.  If cases are not resolved by the end of the summer, supervising attorneys will handle cases until completion. 

Only attorneys and summer associates from firms participating in inMotion's 2013 Summer Associate Program who have been assigned U nonimmigrant status matters need to register for this training.
