Your T-Visa Lawyer for Victims of Trafficking and Violence
Dismantling systems of trafficking and violence starts with helping and getting help from the victims of these crimes. Without help from the victims, law enforcement often has little to no leads to start the investigation or evidence to prosecute a crime.
That is why the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (VTVPA) was passed in the first place. This law allows victims of trafficking and violence to stay in the country on account of being a victim of human trafficking in different contexts. In some cases, law enforcement also investigates and prosecutes the criminals responsible for their situation. This has the dual advantage of protecting victims while bringing criminals to justice.
If you have been a victim of human trafficking, Abogada Ashley may be able to help you apply for a T-visa so you can stay in the U.S. lawfully.

While the people who qualify for a T-visa should be able to receive it, it isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Understanding the complicated process, working through it correctly, and generally understanding what to do and when to do it is difficult. Plus, correctly preparing a T visa petition with the required supporting documents adds a major source of stress during a time that is already terrible enough.
That is why one of the best ways to actually obtain a T-visa is by working with a T-visa lawyer. A knowledgeable lawyer will be able to walk you through the visa process in a way that is not overwhelming. This starts with gathering information regarding whether or not you are eligible for a T-visa. Then, it continues with putting the wheels in motion to obtain the visa. As this happens, T-visa lawyers use their in-depth knowledge of the system to fill out forms correctly, get the best supporting documentation for your case, go about procedures in the right way, and generally avoid doing anything that would jeopardize your visa status.
Overall, a good T-visa lawyer will provide help while avoiding mistakes that could result in the denial of your case.
you are not alone
Do you qulify for a t-visa?
Not everyone qualifies for the T-visa. People who qualify must be:
- A victim of a “severe form of human trafficking.” The purpose of this law is to help victims; thus, only victims are eligible for a T-visa.
- In the U.S. as a result of human trafficking. The crime itself has to be what brought them into the country or it needs to explain why they are still physically present in the U.S.
- Able and willing or have already complied with attempts by law enforcement to seek justice. This means reporting the trafficking and potentially helping with the investigation and/or prosecution of the perpetrator(s). This is the case for victims who are over 18, for situations where the level of help requested is reasonable, and in cases where the victim isn’t held back from helping due to trauma.
- Able to show that removing the person from the U.S. would cause the victim an extreme level of hardship.
- Normally able to enter the US as a nonimmigrant, which means the victim hasn’t triggered any inadmissibility grounds under immigration law. If you are not, you will need to submit Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as a Nonimmigrant.
In addition, the trafficking has to be a “severe form of trafficking in persons” as defined by the government. This includes both sex trafficking and labor trafficking.
