does anyone have any idea about how long it will take to recieve residency after recieving I 918 or any lawyers in california who specializes in U-visa?

You may be eligible to apply for permanent residence after meeting the following requirements:
- you have been physically present in the U.S. continuously for at least three years
- you have not unreasonably refused to cooperate with the law enforcement officials investigating and prosecuting the crime against you, and
- your continued presence in the U.S. is justified either on humanitarian grounds, to ensure family unity, or is in the public interest.
