The T visa is designated for victims of what?

• A. for victims of a serious offense
• B. for perpetrators
• C. for victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons
• D. for employers of foreign workers

Answer: (C)

The T visa is a special nonimmigrant designation for people who have been victims of trafficking in persons, specifically victims of a severe form of trafficking. This designation exists to protect and assist those who have endured trafficking by allowing them to stay in the United States to help law enforcement and to access relief, including work authorization and a potential path to permanent residency. It is not for perpetrators, not for victims of offenses that aren’t trafficking, and not a visa for employers. The “severe form” trafficking coverage includes situations like sex trafficking and labor trafficking where individuals are recruited or transported and subjected to coercion, fraud, or abuse.
