The T Visa is an immigration benefit created by the U.S. Congress to protect people who have been victims of abuse or human trafficking in the United States. The T visa was created to help those who have suffered abusive or exploitative conditions — from the journey with coyotes to labor or domestic situations suffered in the U.S. and who need safety, stability, and a legal pathway to remain in the country.

This type of humanitarian visa allows victims to access legal protection, apply for work authorization, and, over time, open a path toward permanent residency. The entire process is confidential and is evaluated on an individual basis, understanding that each story of our clients will be different. Speaking with an attorney is the first step to finding out whether the T visa applies to your situation.
