If your presence in the United States is the result of human trafficking, the T Nonimmigrant Status (T Visa) may offer critical relief. The T Visa was created to ensure your safety from threats in your home country while allowing you to remain in the U.S. and assist law enforcement.
At Hayoon Kane Law Firm, we understand the extreme sensitivity of these cases. Whether you are in Nevada or any other state, we provide compassionate, confidential legal advocacy to help survivors secure protection and a path to a Green Card.
The T Visa is a form of humanitarian protection that grants temporary legal status for up to four years to victims of severe human trafficking. It provides several life-changing benefits:
You will receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to work legally in the U.S.
After three years of continuous physical presence (or sooner if the investigation concludes), you may apply for lawful permanent residency.
It shields you from removal, regardless of how or when you entered the country.
Certain eligible family members may also receive derivative T Visas.
You may qualify for a T Visa if you have been subjected to severe forms of trafficking. Under federal immigration guidelines, there are four key criteria defined by law to secure protection.
Be a victim of a severe form of human trafficking.
Physical presence in the U.S., American Samoa, or port of entry on account of trafficking.
Reporting the case to any law enforcement agency is required but investigation is not.
Extreme hardship with unusual and severe harm if removed from the United States.
