Form I-914, Application for T Nonimmigrant Status

Form I-914 is how survivors of human trafficking apply for T nonimmigrant status, temporary protection that lets them stay in the United States while assisting law enforcement.

This is the genuine USCIS PDF, unmodified. Source: USCIS official page.

What is I-914?

T nonimmigrant status protects people who are or were victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons and are in the United States on account of that trafficking. Applicants generally must show they have complied with reasonable requests from law enforcement to help investigate or prosecute the trafficking, unless they qualify for an exemption for age or trauma, and that removal would cause them extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm.

The application includes a detailed personal statement describing the trafficking. Supplement A extends the application to qualifying family members, and Supplement B is an optional declaration from a law enforcement agency confirming the applicant was a victim and has been helpful. Approved T status also opens a path to work authorization and, later, permanent residence.

Who files I-914?

  • Survivors of sex or labor trafficking who are physically present in the US because of the trafficking
  • Applicants adding qualifying family members through Supplement A
  • Applicants under 18, or those unable to cooperate due to trauma, who claim an exemption from the law enforcement cooperation requirement
  • People working with an attorney, accredited representative, or victim services organization on a trafficking case

How to fill out I-914

  1. Complete the biographic sections and answer every eligibility question; write N/A rather than leaving items blank.
  2. Prepare your personal statement describing the trafficking, how you came to the US, and why removal would cause extreme hardship.
  3. Gather supporting evidence: police or court records, medical records, affidavits, and Supplement B from law enforcement if you can obtain it.
  4. Add Supplement A for each qualifying family member you want to include.
  5. Print, sign, and mail the package to the USCIS address listed in the current I-914 instructions; there is no filing fee for Form I-914, but confirm details at uscis.gov before mailing.
Worth knowing: Applications with sensitive victim information are confidential under federal law. If you are in immediate danger, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline; a victim advocate or accredited representative can help you file safely.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a declaration from law enforcement?

No. Supplement B strengthens the application by confirming your cooperation, but it is optional for T status. If you cannot get one, USCIS accepts other credible evidence that you were a victim and, where required, that you complied with reasonable requests for assistance.

Can T status lead to a green card?

Yes. T nonimmigrants who meet continuous presence and other requirements can later apply for adjustment of status on Form I-485. Check the current eligibility rules at uscis.gov.

Can my family be included?

Certain family members qualify depending on your age and the danger they face, typically spouses, children, and for applicants under 21, parents and unmarried minor siblings. Each is added with Supplement A.
