T VISA – DLG

T Visa Frequently Asked Questions

What is the T visa, and who is eligible for it?

The T visa is designed for victims of human trafficking who are in the United States and have been subjected to severe forms of trafficking in persons, such as forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation. Eligibility criteria include cooperation with law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of human trafficking cases.

How can I apply for a T visa?

To apply for a T visa, you must complete and submit Form I-914, Application for T Nonimmigrant Status, to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The application process includes providing supporting documents and evidence of your eligibility.

Can T visa holders work in the United States?

Yes, T visa holders are eligible to work in the United States. They can apply for work authorization by filing Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with USCIS.

How long is the T visa valid for?

T visas are initially valid for four years. However, extensions are possible if the law enforcement agency certifies that your continued presence in the United States is necessary for ongoing law enforcement purposes.

Can family members of T visa holders come to the United States?

Yes, certain family members of T visa holders, including spouses, children, and, in some cases, parents and unmarried siblings under 18, may be eligible for derivative T visas (T-2, T-3, T-4, T-5) if they meet the eligibility criteria and the principal T visa holder is approved.

Is there a cap on the number of T visas issued each year?

There is a statutory cap on the number of T visas that can be issued each fiscal year. However, this cap can be waived in cases where it is reached.

Can T visa holders apply for U.S. permanent residency (a green card)?

T visa holders may be eligible to apply for U.S. permanent residency (a green card) after meeting certain eligibility requirements, such as having been physically present in the United States for a specific period and continuing to cooperate with law enforcement. This process is known as adjustment of status.

Can T visa holders apply for other non-immigrant visas while in the United States?

T visa holders may be eligible to apply for other non-immigrant visas under specific circumstances, such as changing their immigration status to another visa category that suits their objectives. Consult with your immigration attorney for guidance.
