Immigration Needs for Victims

In cases involving noncitizen victims, refer the victim immediately to an experienced immigration attorney to screen for immigration relief and any time-sensitive deadlines. Immigrant victims may be eligible for special forms of immigration relief, such as a T or U visa, based on their status as a victim of human trafficking.



Immigration Protection for Immigrant Victims of Human Trafficking

Undocumented victims are especially vulnerable to human trafficking. Certain immigration options are available to victims that may allow them to apply for work authorization and permission to remain in the United States. It is essential that victims consult with an experienced immigration attorney about available options and understand the risks of pursuing immigration relief. Below is a list of potential immigration remedies commonly available to victims of crime. This list is not exhaustive, and it is important that every victim be screened individually by an experienced immigration attorney for eligibility.
