What is a T-Visa?

A T-visa is a nonimmigrant visa for victims of severe human trafficking. It permits visa holders an initial stay of four years in the United States and can be adjusted to a green card after three years in some circumstances. A T-visa is also a possible option for certain family members of trafficking victims.

U.S. federal law considers a person to be a victim of severe trafficking if they are involved in sex trafficking or labor trafficking. Also, you must have entered the United States due to trafficking and be willing to comply with criminal investigations.

Applying for a T-Visa

You must file Form I-914 to begin your T-visa application. As part of this, you must submit evidence that you have assisted with criminal investigations or are exempt from this. The application includes proof of other eligibility requirements, such as showing that you would suffer extreme hardship if removed from the United States.

Gathering evidence and applying for a T-visa can be a very stressful process. An immigration lawyer can help you through it and remove as much emotional stress as possible by directing you to the needed evidence.
