Via Marc A. Story here. Excerpt:

'Under the program, immigrants temporarily can live and work in this country legally as long as they help law enforcement officials investigate and prosecute the offenders.

The "U" visa, approved by Congress in 2000 as part of a law providing investigators and prosecutors legal muscle to fight the growing human trafficking industry, was mired in delays as the government analyzed local, state and federal criminal laws to decide which immigrants would be eligible.'

That this story is about a man as the victim is a red herring. There can be little doubt that the majority of applicants and grantees will be female. This is a program that will in effect encourage illegal and non-citizen immigrant women to accuse American men of DV just to get on the "A" list for the citizenship path.
