Fill out I-914 (Application for T Nonimmigrant Status) online
Form I-914 is used to apply for T nonimmigrant status (T visa), which provides immigration protection to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons. T visa holders receive temporary legal status and work authorization in the United States and may eventually apply for permanent residence.
How to fill out I-914 (Application for T Nonimmigrant Status)
Prepare your personal statement
Write a detailed declaration describing the trafficking you experienced, how you were recruited or coerced, the type of labor or services you were forced to perform, and how you came to be present in the United States. This statement is a critical piece of evidence.
Enter personal and immigration information
Provide your full legal name, date of birth, country of birth, current address, A-Number (if any), and immigration history. Include details about your entry into the United States and current immigration status.
Obtain law enforcement certification or document exemption
Request that a federal, state, or local law enforcement agency complete Form I-914 Supplement B, certifying that you have been a victim of trafficking and have assisted in the investigation or prosecution. If you are unable to obtain certification due to trauma, include evidence supporting an exemption.
Include derivative family members if applicable
If you have a spouse, children, or (for applicants under 21) parents and unmarried siblings who need T nonimmigrant status, complete Form I-914 Supplement A for each family member.
Submit with supporting evidence
File the completed application with your personal statement, law enforcement certification or exemption evidence, proof of physical presence, and any other supporting documents. There is no filing fee.
