T nonimmigrant status lets certain survivors of sex or labor trafficking remain in the U.S. Prima.Law organizes the I-914, its supplements, cooperation evidence and family filings.
Survivors of a severe form of trafficking who are present because of it, complied with reasonable law enforcement requests and face extreme hardship.
Form I-914 with a personal statement, Supplement A for family, optional Supplement B law enforcement declaration, and Form I-192 if inadmissible.
Minors and people unable to cooperate due to trauma may not need to show compliance. Police reports or court documents can stand in for Supplement B.
T status is generally granted for 4 years. Green card eligibility comes after 3 years of continuous presence or when the case ends, if sooner.
T nonimmigrant status is for victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons: sex trafficking induced by force, fraud or coercion or involving a person under 18, or labor trafficking through force, fraud or coercion for involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage or slavery. The applicant files Form I-914 with a personal statement and supporting evidence.
USCIS states that information about a T applicant is strictly confidential and protected by law, and DHS may not deny an application based only on evidence from the trafficker unless a statutory exception applies. Applicants may use a safe mailing address. T status is generally granted for 4 years.
General information based on USCIS and other government guidance. Eligibility depends on each client’s facts; this is not legal advice.
Survivors may struggle to recount trafficking, and the personal statement is often built over many sessions with gaps to fill.
How Prima.Law helps: Smart Interviews let survivors answer on their own device through a portal tied to their own email. Answers flow into the profile and Form I-914, and data is AES-256 encrypted and stored in the U.S.
Traffickers may control phones, housing or co-workers, so staff must know which number, address and channel are safe before reaching out.
How Prima.Law helps: An Important Notice at Danger level shows safe contact rules atop the contact and every case. Texts go from the firm's Twilio number, and every message and file is saved to the contact.
Cases need proof of trafficking, presence on account of trafficking, and law enforcement cooperation or an exception, from many sources.
How Prima.Law helps: The T visa checklist, created and maintained by active immigration lawyers, lists the statement, police or court records and Supplement B. Clients upload in the portal and staff mark items complete.
The T visa case type adds Form I-914, its supplements, Form I-192, Form I-765 and a checklist for the personal statement and cooperation evidence.
