If you received U visa status in the U.S. and you leave the country, you will need to go to a consulate to get an actual U visa to re-enter the U.S.
The time to process applications varies, as all cases are different. In general, the government takes within 6 to 10 months to approve or deny an application for a U visa.
If you do end up getting U visa status, you will immediately receive a four-year work permit, as the U visa lasts for four years.
Qualified members include the spouse, children (unmarried and under 21 years of age); and parents (of a U-1 nonimmigrant who is under 21 years of age). If you are in the United States and have an approved Form I-929, you may apply for a Green Card immediately.
