Immigration Relief for Victims of Crimes
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) assists undocumented individuals who have been victims of human trafficking and other crimes with immigration relief. Human trafficking consists of trafficking in persons and has become a type of “modern-day slavery,” according to the USCIS.
This begins by traffickers attracting their victims through false promises of:
- Jobs
- Security
- And a better life
The USCIS also provides relief to individuals and families who have suffered other types of serious crimes, such as:
- Sexual assault
- Domestic violence
- Rape
- Manslaughter
- Murder
- And more
The immigration relief for these victims consists of two types of visas known as the T Nonimmigrant Visa and the U Nonimmigrant Visa. If you or someone you know has been victimized through human trafficking, present-day slavery, or other serious crimes, we urge you to contact Sebastian Simon Law Group, PLLC.

U & T Visa Information
T Visas
A T Visa provides immigration relief to victims of human trafficking. These individuals will be allowed to stay in the U.S. in exchange for providing assistance to law enforcement agencies as they investigate and prosecute the responsible parties. In order to qualify for this visa, you must show that you were trafficked into the U.S. The crime of trafficking consists of three factors.
These factors include:
- Recruitment by the trafficker
- The trafficker used threat, abduction, deception, or other coercive means
- The trafficker’s ultimate goal was for forced labor, sexual exploitation or trade, or some other type of servitude, bondage, or slavery
You must also be in the U.S. or at a port of entry where you were trafficked, work with any law enforcement agency requesting your cooperation, show that you would suffer hardship if you were deported, and be admissible to the U.S. If, for some reason, you are not admissible, you may be able to apply for a waiver.
The application process involves:
- Official immigration forms
- Statements of how you were trafficked
- Other evidence of your eligibility
- And more
It is crucial to work with an experienced immigration attorney to ensure that your application package is thorough and accurate to increase your chances of success.

“We brought a very challenging case to this firm, one that other attorneys had passed on, telling us our chances of success were slim. Sebastian Simon was upfront and honest about the difficulties we faced and clearly laid out his strategy to win. Thanks to his expertise, we recently won in court and were granted a change in status. We are eternally grateful to Sebastian and his team, especially Alde Duran, one of his legal assistants. Alde was not only informative and responsive to all of our communications but also incredibly organized and attentive to every detail, which made the entire process smoother for us. Muchas gracias, Alde!!”- G.M.
