What is a T-1 visa?
The T-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa designated for victims of severe forms of human trafficking, including both sex trafficking and labor trafficking. This visa allows victims to remain in the United States to assist law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of human trafficking cases, though victims under the age of 18 are not required to assist law enforcement to qualify.
The length of stay for a T-1 visa is up to four years, with the possibility of extension if the individual continues to assist law enforcement or if they face extreme hardship upon returning to their home country.
The State Department maintains a cap of 5,000 T-1 visas per year.
