T Visa (Trafficking Victims)

Empowering Survivors: T Visa Legal Assistance for Victims of Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is a devastating crime that robs individuals of their freedom and dignity. If you or someone you know has been a victim of trafficking, you may be eligible for immigration protection and a path to permanent residency through a T visa. At the Law Office of Roxanne Rochester, we are dedicated to offering survivors discreet, caring support.

As a trusted T visa attorney in NYC, we guide trafficking victims through the complex process of applying for protection and legal status in the US.

What You Need to Know About the T Visa Process

The T visa is a special form of immigration relief for trafficking victims, both labor and sex trafficking, who, as a result of their abuse, are physically present in the United States and are prepared to help law enforcement look into or bring charges against their traffickers. Unlike other immigration options, the T visa was explicitly created to protect vulnerable individuals and help them rebuild their lives.

Who Qualifies? T Visa Eligibility Requirements

Not everyone is eligible, but you may meet the T visa eligibility requirements if you:

  • Are or were a victim of severe trafficking in persons (labor or sex trafficking)
  • Are physically present in the US due to trafficking
  • have cooperated with legitimate requests to support law enforcement (unless under 18 or suffering trauma)
  • Would be severely harmed if taken out of the United States.

Our legal team works closely with you to determine if you qualify and to apply for a T visa as a survivor in a safe and supportive environment.
