Sulekha community - Advice from neighbors and local experts

I am writing to inquire about my eligibility for a U visa. I recently experienced a traumatic incident when a neighbor shot a gun from their home towards mine. The incident left me and my friend in a state of shock and fear. Upon further research, I discovered that U visas are available to victims of certain crimes, including violent crimes. I believe that the incident that my friend and I experienced may fall under this category, and I am interested in exploring my options for obtaining a U visa. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with more information on the eligibility requirements for U visas.
