I was wondering if my boyfriend that was assaulted by this other guy and he does have a domestic assault police report, would he be able to qualify for a U visa?

Unfortunately not. Simple assault is not one of the crimes covered by the U-visa. If there was sexual assault, then he has a case.

It will depend on the type of assault and whether he suffered substantial physical or mental abuse as a result of having been a victim of the crime. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact me.
