What is a T-2 visa ?
72
The T-2 visa is a nonimmigrant designated for the spouses of T-1 visa holders, who are victims of human trafficking. This visa allows the spouse to accompany the T-1 visa holder in the United States, providing support and stability while the T-1 holder assists in the investigation or prosecution of human trafficking cases. T-2 visa holders are authorized to work in the United States during their stay. The T-2 visa can also be a pathway to permanent residency for the spouse, contingent on the T-1 holder's status and cooperation with law enforcement agencies.
The length of stay for a T-2 visa is directly tied to the T-1 visa holder's authorized stay in the United States. Extensions are possible as long as the T-1 visa holder maintains their status and continues to meet the requirements set forth by U.S. immigration authorities.
The State Department does not maintain a cap on T-2 visas.
