What Is a T Visa?

A T visa, officially known as T nonimmigrant status, provides temporary immigration protection to eligible survivors of severe forms of human trafficking in the United States. Qualifying applicants may be able to remain in the country, obtain employment authorization, and eventually apply for a Green Card.

T nonimmigrant status may be available to survivors of labor trafficking or sex trafficking. At Serving Immigrants, our T visa immigration lawyers help individuals understand their rights, evaluate eligibility, and navigate the application process. We assist clients in Miami, Orlando, throughout Florida, and nationwide.

T Visa Eligibility

Who Qualifies for a T Visa?

To qualify for T nonimmigrant status, applicants generally must meet five key eligibility requirements under U.S. immigration law. Supporting evidence and individual circumstances also play an important role in the application process. For more details, read our T visa requirements guide.

1

Severe Human Trafficking: You must have experienced a qualifying form of labor or sex trafficking. Trafficking may involve force, fraud, or coercion, with different legal standards applying to certain cases involving minors.

2

Physical Presence Because of Trafficking: You must be physically present in the United States or another qualifying location on account of human trafficking, as defined by U.S. immigration law.

3

Law Enforcement Assistance: Applicants generally must satisfy applicable reporting requirements and comply with reasonable law enforcement requests. Exceptions may apply based on age or physical or psychological trauma.

4

Extreme Hardship if Removed: Applicants must demonstrate that removal from the United States would cause extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm, which may include risks of retaliation, further trafficking, or serious physical or psychological harm.

5

Admissibility Requirements: T visa applicants must be admissible to the United States or qualify for an available waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility. Individual immigration circumstances may affect eligibility.

6

Supporting Evidence for a T Visa: Applicants must provide evidence supporting their eligibility. This may include personal statements, medical records, relevant communications, witness statements, or other credible documentation.
