Orinda T Visa Lawyer

You may qualify for a T Visa if you were trafficked into or within the U.S. and face serious hardship if returned home. You must cooperate with law enforcement unless exempt and meet admissibility requirements.

• You are or were a victim of severe human trafficking
• You are physically present in the U.S. due to trafficking
• You are cooperating with law enforcement (or can demonstrate why you cannot)
• You would face extreme hardship if removed from the U.S.
• You are admissible or eligible for a waiver

Our Orinda attorneys review your case and help build the strongest possible application with relevant documentation and testimony.

Our legal team uses a trauma-informed approach in every case. We provide a secure, confidential space to hear your story and determine the best path forward. From requesting waivers to gathering evidence and submitting filings, we ensure your experience is handled with care, clarity, and legal precision.

We take the time to learn your journey, collect evidence, and file with legal accuracy. Your comfort and safety are part of our legal strategy.

Our job doesn’t end when your application is submitted. We offer continued legal support as your case progresses — tracking status updates, responding to USCIS notices, and ensuring you’re fully informed. We also assist with work permits and help you prepare for follow-up interviews or document requests.

We keep communication open even after the paperwork is done. Our team tracks results, explains notices, and helps with work authorization updates.

A denial isn’t the end. We review the decision, prepare appeals or motions, and evaluate alternate forms of relief such as a U Visa or asylum.

• Understand the reason for denial
• File a motion to reopen or reconsider
• Appeal the decision where eligible
• Explore other options like a U Visa, asylum, or VAWA

Our immigration lawyers work to identify and correct deficiencies and give your case the second chance it may need.
