In October 2000, Congress created T non-immigrant status (often referred to as the “T-Visa”) to combat human trafficking and to provide immigration relief for those who are trafficked into the United States. The T-Visa is a type of humanitarian immigration relief allowing survivors of human trafficking and their immediate family members to remain and work temporarily in the United States. The T-Visa also creates a path to a green card. The qualifications associated with T-Visas can be changed to allow more people access to this resource. Securing immigration status will not only help trafficking survivors achieve lawful status, employment authorization, benefits, and overall stability, but will also help prevent possible immigration detention and deportation.
