Human Trafficking
Trafficking in human beings is a well-organized and flourishing criminal activity in spite of the extensive international efforts to combat it. Global estimates on the number of trafficking victims vary because of the lack of reporting mechanisms but also because of the complex and clandestine nature of this crime.

U Visa
The U visa classification was established under the Battered Immigrant Women Protection Act of 2000. Subsequently, nonimmigrant victims of certain criminal activity began applying for interim U visa relief, receiving deferred action status until regulations would be issued. These interim regulations were issued on September 17, 2007 and became effective on October 17, 2007.
