The Saint Paul Police Department accepts U-Visa applications from law firms representing individuals who may qualify for a U-Visa as crime victims under federal guidelines. Though participation in the U-Visa program is completely voluntary for law enforcement agencies, the Saint Paul Police Department believes the U-Visa program fosters positive relationships between the St. Paul Police Department and the greater community. All U-Visa applications that meet the mandatory requirements are reviewed on a regular basis by a panel of three St. Paul Police Department personnel. This panel evaluates each application individually before making a determination to certify or deny the application.
Please mail your completed U-Visa applications to:
