What is a T-5 visa?
36
The T-5 visa is a nonimmigrant visa designated for the unmarried siblings under the age of 18 of T-1 visa holders who are victims of human trafficking, provided that the T-1 holder was under the age of 21 at the time their T-1 petition was filed. T-5 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-5 visa is generally up to four years, with the possibility of extension in certain circumstances, allowing family members to remain in the United States as long as the primary T-1 visa holder maintains their status.
The State Department does not maintain a cap on T-5 visas.
