visas issued by the US were T-3 visas

The T-3 visa is a nonimmigrant visa designated for the unmarried children under the age of 21 of T-1 visa holders, who are victims of human trafficking. This visa allows these children to join the T-1 visa holder in the United States. Like the T-2 visa holder, T-3 holders are authorized to work in the United States and may also be eligible to apply for permanent resident status contingent on the T-1 holder's status and cooperation with law enforcement.

The length of stay for a T-3 visa is generally tied to the duration of the T-1 visa holder's authorized stay. Extensions are possible as long as the T-1 visa holder maintains their status and continues to meet the eligibility requirements.

The State Department does not maintain a cap on T-3 visas.
