What to verify before acting
Before deciding what to do, identify the agency, form, evidence request, and deadline that control this matter.
T visa file focus
A T visa research file often starts with trafficking indicators, control or coercion facts, law enforcement contact, trauma-sensitive evidence, and whether family derivatives or inadmissibility issues need review. The case summary should protect the survivor's safety and avoid unnecessary exposure of private facts.
Records to organize carefully
- A safe chronology of recruitment, work, control, threats, movement, or debt-related facts.
- Any law enforcement, labor agency, shelter, medical, counseling, or advocacy records available for review.
- Identity documents, immigration history, and prior filings that could affect admissibility.
- Questions about family safety, confidentiality, and whether documents should be shared through counsel only.
Frequently asked questions
