You are not defined by what happened to you. You deserve protection and a path forward.
When Exploitation Takes Away Your Power, the Law Can Help You Reclaim It
Human trafficking leaves deep scars — physical, emotional, and financial.
Many survivors fear coming forward because their traffickers threatened deportation or used their immigration status as control.
The T Visa gives victims of trafficking a way to stay in the U.S. safely, obtain work authorization, and eventually apply for permanent residence. It also allows survivors to reunite with certain family members and build a stable life free from fear.
At Dinits Immigration Law, we listen, protect, and act. Our trauma-informed team handles every case confidentially, with care and respect for your safety and your story.

What the T Visa Offers Survivors
- Protection From Deportation: Remain lawfully in the U.S. for up to four years, with eligibility for a green card after three.
- Work Authorization: Receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to work legally.
- Access to Services and Support: Qualify for public benefits, healthcare, and social programs designed to help survivors rebuild stability.
- Family Reunification: Bring eligible family members to the U.S. or protect them if they are already here.
- Path to Permanent Residency: After maintaining T status for three years (or earlier if the investigation concludes), you may apply for a green card.

Frequently Asked Questions About T Visas
How long does a T Visa last?
T Visa status is valid for four years and may be extended if needed. After three years, or once the trafficking case concludes, you may apply for permanent residence.
Call 516-208-2060 for confidential, trauma-informed guidance.
Do I have to help law enforcement to qualify?
If you’re over 18, you must have complied with reasonable requests for help in the investigation or prosecution of traffickers. Those under 18 are exempt from this requirement.
Call 516-208-2060 for confidential, trauma-informed guidance.
Can my family apply with me?
Yes. You may include your spouse, unmarried children under 21, and, in some cases, parents and siblings if there is a risk of retaliation.
Call 516-208-2060 for confidential, trauma-informed guidance.
What if I entered the U.S. without documents?
You may still qualify. Many trafficking survivors entered without inspection or overstayed a visa. T Visa applicants can request waivers for most grounds of inadmissibility.
Call 516-208-2060 for confidential, trauma-informed guidance.
Is my case confidential?
Yes. USCIS keeps all T Visa filings completely confidential and does not contact traffickers or employers.
