What Is T Visa Application Form I-914? - Rajat Shankar

From Shankar & Associates PC - What Is T Visa Application Form I-914? explores how survivors of severe human trafficking can apply for T nonimmigrant status through USCIS and pursue safety, legal protection, and a pathway toward lawful permanent residence in the United States. The episode discusses Form I-914, the purpose of the T visa program established under the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act (TVPA), and the protections available to trafficking survivors living in New York, Long Island, Nassau County, and throughout the United States.

Listeners will gain insight into who qualifies for a T visa, including survivors of labor trafficking and sex trafficking, the law enforcement cooperation requirement, and important exceptions for minors and trauma survivors. The discussion also covers the role of Form I-914A for qualifying family members, Form I-914B for law enforcement certification, and supporting evidence such as personal statements, police reports, medical records, affidavits, and USCIS documentation that can strengthen a T visa application.

The podcast also highlights the immigration work of Rajat Shankar, Esq., founder of Shankar & Associates PC in Plainview, NY.

Fuchsberg Law Center and East Stroudsburg University, Rajat Shankar shares how applicants can navigate the USCIS filing process, respond to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), complete biometrics appointments at Application Support Centers, and understand important protections like Bona Fide Determinations, Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), and adjustment of status through Form I-485.
