Trafficking Victims Visa

The T visa is granted to individuals who have suffered from human trafficking. This type of visa is essential for providing security and stability to victims while they collaborate with authorities in the investigation and prosecution of traffickers, helping to dismantle exploitation networks. Human trafficking differs from migrant smuggling, which involves bringing people into the United States without involving forced labor or sexual exploitation.

There are two types of human trafficking: the first is labor trafficking, in which the victim is forced to work against their will without receiving payment. The second is sex trafficking, in which the victim is forced into prostitution or other types of sexual work, such as in strip clubs or massage parlors. Many traffickers deceive victims by offering jobs and then force them into prostitution through threats to the victim or their loved ones.
