What is a T Visa?

A T Visa allows non-citizen victims of human trafficking to become permanent residents in the United States. These types of visas also allow the non-citizen victim to obtain work authorization in the U.S. Sometimes, if a survivor successfully obtains citizenship or permanent residency through these circumstances, their close family members may eventually join them in the United States.

What is the process to obtain a T Visa?

  1. Report human trafficking
    The first step you should take if you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking is to contact local authorities immediately. Informants or survivors can also contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Once you have reported to the authorities, an investigation will be conducted.

  2. Filing an I-914 form
    There will be no application fee when submitting the I-914 visa application form. The time it takes to process and approve the application is unique to each case and may vary depending on the evidence. If approved, the T Visa can be valid for up to four years.

  3. Gather evidence to prove eligibility
    Proving human trafficking can be a complex and emotionally charged process for all involved. Some of these identifiers include blatant physical abuse (bruises, scratches, burns), poor living conditions (living in cramped quarters with multiple people), employer or “guardian” withholding identification documents, or being underpaid, overworked, or fearful.
