Santa Barbara T Visa Lawyer

To be eligible, you must prove victimization through trafficking, be in the U.S. because of it, and show you’d face harm if deported. Cooperation with law enforcement and admissibility are also key.

• 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
