About U Visa

[Shawshank]

I was wondering if I would be eligible for a U visa application considering that the crime (robbery at gun point) occurred in late 2006 when the U Visa became effective only in October of 2007. The local law enforcement agency in the city that I live has said they will sign off on the Nonimmigrant Status Certification (Form I-918, Supplement B). My only question is does anyone know if the law can be retroactively applied to violent crimes that happened before the effective date?

Thank You.
