Most likely not. U Visas are generally given to victims of certain serious crimes who cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of the crime. Most minor credit card fraud cases are not likely to get police attention, and you probably won't get them to sign a U-Visa certification for you.

No, credit card fraud does not allow you to fall into the category of victim for U nonimmigrant status.

The U visa is intended for serious crimes such as victims of trafficking, violent crimes, and of felonies. Additionally, the police or prosecutorial authorities would need to rely on your testimony to successfully prosecute the offense and recommend U status to the USCIS.
