Immigrant Visa Flowcharts for Derivatives of VAWA and U Principals

These four flowcharts were created by Esther Limb, Supervising Attorney at Her Justice, in connection with ASISTA’s March 2023 Virtual CLE Conference, “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Derivatives.” They are current as of March 2023.

The flowcharts depict the processes to follow for derivative beneficiaries and other relatives of VAWA and U petitioners, including:

• Consular Processing for VAWA Derivatives
• Consular Processing for U-Based I-929 Beneficiaries
• Adjustment of Status for VAWA Derivatives
• Adjustment of Status for U Derivatives and I-929 Beneficiaries
