For those who were forced, exploited, or deceived into labor or sex trafficking

Find Safety, Freedom, and Legal Protection With a T Visa

  • Immigration relief and lawful status for victims of human trafficking
  • Confidential, trauma-informed representation
  • 20+ years of experience helping survivors regain independence and stability

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.

Call 516-208-2060 to speak privately with our legal team today.

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.

Call 516-208-2060 for confidential guidance.

Who Qualifies for a T Visa

You may qualify if you:

  • Are a victim of human trafficking, including labor or sex trafficking.

  • Have complied with reasonable requests from law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of traffickers (if over 18).
  • Would suffer extreme hardship if removed from the U.S.

I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude for Michelle Dinits. Michelle did not just see me as a case number but a person who she truly supported and kept calm throughout the entire process. She made an incredibly complex process feel manageable and with her help, I was granted my green card . I would highly recommend Michelle, she will give excellent legal expertise and the compassion you deserve.

As a mother, there is nothing harder than watching your child and their partner go through a period of intense stress and uncertainty. When my son and his wife decided to settle here on Long Island, we were all so happy, but the immigration process felt like a mountain standing in the way of their future. My daughter-in-law was understandably terrified of the F1 visa transition, and my son was just as anxious, knowing how much they both had to lose. Finding Michelle Dinits was the greatest blessing our family could have asked for. From our very first interaction, it was clear that Michelle didn't just see them as clients—she cared for them like family. She truly took my daughter-in-law under her wing, calming her fears with patience and expert guidance. She transformed a process that felt frightening and overwhelming into a clear manageable path. Watching the weight lift off their shoulders after each interaction with Michelle was heartwarming. From residency to the Green Card, Michelle brought our entire family such peace of mind. She is more than just a brilliant attorney; she is a compassionate advocate who understands the heart behind the paperwork. We are eternally grateful to her for keeping our family together.

There are not enough stars here for Dinits Law. As an engineer, I tend to overanalyze every detail. I interviewed at least five different immigration attorneys before finding Michelle. While others simply listed forms and fees, Michelle was the only one who articulated the entire process with absolute clarity and mastery. I was truly impressed and asked her to represent us on the spot. Our family’s journey involved my daughter-in-law who came to the USA as an F1 visa student. My son and her fell in love and after about two years, married here on Long Island. It was a high-stakes process for them. They both found 'their person' and were terrified of a single mistake jeopardizing their future together. Michelle did far more than provide legal counsel. She took my daughter-in-law under her wing. Through conference calls and meticulous preparation, she turned a frightening legal hurdle into a manageable, step-by-step path. Michele “held their hands” from the initial residency request through the Green Card approval, and we are now awaiting the time when she can take her citizenship interview. We are thrilled! The level of care, patience, and genuine humanity Michelle brought to my son and daughter-in-law’s case is something money cannot buy. We owe her a profound everlasting debt of gratitude for protecting our family’s future. If you want an attorney who combines elite legal expertise with true compassion, look no further than Dinits Law.

I had a great experience working with Michelle as my immigration lawyer, especially when responding to my RFE (Request for Evidence). She was very knowledgeable, thorough, and attentive to every detail. Michelle clearly explained what documents were needed and guided me step by step through the entire process, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters.

Michelle is a Godsend! After my visa application failed with other lawyers, I was completely stressed and ready to give up. Then I found Michelle—a true blessing. The green card process is notoriously difficult and high-stakes, but Michelle's expertise and support gave me back my confidence. She is profoundly knowledgeable and a true professional. She didn't just "take my file"—she took me through the entire journey. What should have been agonizing was instead seamless, pleasant, and totally stress-free. Michelle was there every single step of the way, highly responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. I got my green card in a short time with absolutely zero hiccups! The process was painless because she made it her priority. Michelle is the best decision you will ever make.

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.

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.

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.
