Part 1. Purpose of This Form.

Form I-914, Application for T Nonimmigrant.

The purpose of the Form I-914 is to provide temporary immigration benefits to aliens who are victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons (principals), and to their immediate family members (derivatives), as appropriate. Form I-914 shall be filed with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), initially by the victims themselves. The victims may also include eligible family members on their application at that time. The form may also be filed at a later date to petition for eligible family members whom the victim did not include in the original application, but for whom the victim subsequently wishes to file.

NOTE: USCIS is comprised of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

Form I-914, Supplement A, Application for Immediate Family Member of T-1 Recipient

The purpose of the Form I-914, Supplement A, is to allow principal T nonimmigrant status holders and applicants to apply for derivative benefits for their immediate family members. The principal applicant shall complete and file one Form I-914, Supplement A, for each family member for whom the principal applicant is now seeking derivative status.

An alien granted T-2, T-3, or T-4 nonimmigrant status may apply for employment authorization by filing an Application for Employment Authorization (Form I-765), with the appropriate fee or an application for fee waiver.

The Form I-765 may be filed concurrently with the filing of the application for T-2, T-3, or T-4 status, or at any time thereafter.

Eligibility for employment authorization will last for the length of the duration of the T nonimmigrant status (three years maximum). If employment authorization is approved, the T-2, T-3,or T-4 alien will be given an eligibility classification of C25 in accordance with section 274a. 12(c)(25).

The validity period of the initial EAD will be for 12 months. Extensions may be granted in 12-month increments, up to the expiration date of the T nonimmigrant status (three years maximum).

NOTE: An Employment Authorization Document (EAD) cannot be issued to an alien (derivative family member) that is presently residing outside the United States. The principal alien will be notified of this fact.

Form I-914, Supplement B, Declaration of Law Enforcement Officer for Victim of Trafficking in Persons.

The Form I-914, Supplement B, is used by Federal Law Enforcement Officers to certify that the applicant is a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons.

Part 2. General Filing Instructions.

Safe Mailing Address.

As a result of situations leading to your filing of this application, you may not feel secure receiving correspondence regarding this application at the address where you live. The Safe Mailing Address may, but need not be, the mailing address for the place where you live. It may be a post office box, the address of a friend, a community based organization that is helping you, your attorney, or any other address at which you can receive correspondence safely and punctually.

How to File.

Form I-914.

In addition to the Form I-914 application and the requisite evidence in support of the applicant’s claim, as described in Part 3 below, a complete application package shall include the filing fee and three passport-style identical photographs in color of the applicant.

The photographs must have been taken within six months of filing the application, and be unmounted and unretouched. The photographs shall show a full frontal facial position of the applicant. The photographs shall be 2 x 2 inches in size and have a white background. The photos should be glossy and not retouched or mounted. The demension of the facial image should be about 1 inch to 1 3/8 inches from the chin to the top of the hair. The applicant’s name and Alien Registration Number (A#), if known, shall be lightly printed on the back of each photograph with a pencil.

Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility.

A principal or derivative applicant who is or becomes inadmissible under section 212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) will not be eligible for T nonimmigrant status unless the ground of inadmissibility is waived. If the ground of inadmissibility is one that can be waived, the alien should apply for a waiver of the grounds of inadmissibility on Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as Nonimmigrant (Pursuant to Section 212 (d)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act). Section 212(d) (3)(B) provides general authority for waiving many grounds of inadmissibility for nonimmigrants. These waivers are not automatic, but may be granted in the exercise of discretion. Form I-192 should be filed at the time of filing Form I-914.

Form I-914, Supplement A.

If, in addition to the Form I-914, the applicant also files one or more Forms I-914, Supplement A, Application for Immediate Family Member of T-l Recipient, each must be accompanied by all of the appropriate documentation and evidence, the appropriate fees, and three photographs of the derivative applicant. The photographs of the derivative must comply with the same requirements as the photographs of the principal applicant, described above. If you are requesting employment authorization for the derivative applicant, a Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, must also accompany the Form I-914, Supplement A.

A Form I-914, Supplement A, Application for Immediate Family Member of T-l Recipient, may be filed concurrently with the initial application of the principal applicant, or at any time thereafter. Any Form I-914, Supplement A, submitted subsequent to the principal applicant’s initial filing, however, must be accompanied by a new Form I-914 with the appropriate boxes checked in Part A, and original signature, with the appropriate fee. Evidence supporting the original application, however, is not required to be resubmitted with the new Form I-914. No Form I-914, Supplement A, will be accepted without a copy of the original Form I-914.

Biometric Services and Interview Appointments.

All applicants between the ages of 14 and 79 years (inclusive) must be fingerprinted, as part of the USCIS biometric services requirements, to facilitate a criminal background check. If necessary, USCIS may also take applicant’s photograph and signature.

In addition, USCIS may require the applicant to appear for a personal interview. The applicant will be notified of the proper time and location to appear for fingerprinting and for an interview, if required.

Failure to appear for a scheduled interview without prior authorization, or failure to comply with biometric services (fingerprint processing), may result in a denial of the application.

Part 3. Required Documentation for Application.

Evidence.

Form I-914.

An application must be filed with evidence sufficient to demonstrate that each of the eligibility requirements is satisfied.

Principal Applicant for T Nonimmigrant (T-l) Status.

To qualify for T-l nonimmigrant status, an applicant must demonstrate that he or she:

  • Is physically present in the United States, American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands as a result of trafficking;
  • Is or has been a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons;
  • Would suffer extreme hardship involving unusual and severe harm upon removal; and
  • Has complied with any reasonable request for assistance in the investigation and prosecution of acts of trafficking in persons, unless the applicant is less than 18 years old.

To establish that he or she is a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons, the applicant must demonstrate that he or she was brought to the United States either:

  • For the purpose of a commercial sex act, which act was either induced by force, fraud or coercion, or occurred when the applicant had not reached 18 years of age, or
  • For the purpose of labor or services induced by force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of subjecting the applicant to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.

An applicant is encouraged to raise all arguments and to document all elements of his or her claim, including allegations of extreme hardship, in his or her initial application.

Form I-914, Supplement A.

The Form I-914, Supplement A, must be filed with evidence sufficient to demonstrate that each of the eligibility requirements is satisfied.

Qualifications for T Derivative Applicants for Nonimmigrant Status.

An applicant for T derivative status must be:

  • The spouse or child of the T nonimmigrant principal applicant or the T nonimmigrant status holder, if the principal applicant or status holder is over the age of 21;
  • The spouse, child or parent, if the principal applicant or status holder is under the age of 21 years.

Applicants for derivative status, as family members of an applicant for T-l nonimmigrant status, or of a person granted T-l nonimmigrant status, must submit credible documentary evidence of the relationship of the derivative applicant to the principal applicant. Documents that will be considered for this purpose are described below. If the principal applicant is over the age of 21, the derivative applicant must be the spouse or child of the principal applicant. If the principal applicant is under the age of 21, the derivative applicant may be the spouse, child, or parent of the principal applicant. If the derivative applicant is applying as the child of the principal applicant, the evidence must also establish that the derivative applicant is under the age of 21.

In addition, applicants for derivative status must submit evidence to demonstrate that either the principal or the derivative applicant will suffer extreme hardship if the derivative applicant is not permitted to join the principal applicant. An applicant is encouraged to raise all arguments and to document all elements of his or her claim, including allegations of extreme hardship, in his or her initial application.

Form I-914, Supplement B (Declaration of Law Enforcement Officer for Victim of Trafficking in Persons).

The primary evidence of an applicant’s claim to be a victim of trafficking shall be a Form I-914, Supplement B, Declaration of Law Enforcement Officer for Victim of Trafficking in Persons. That declaration is appended to this form. An applicant for T-l nonimmigrant status need not necessarily file a Form I-914, Supplement B, to prove the claim. However, the endorsement of a Federal Law Enforcement Officer on the Form I-914, Supplement B, constitutes primary evidence that the applicant is a victim and has complied with any reasonable request for assistance in the investigation and prosecution. These elements of the applicant’s claim may be difficult to establish otherwise, and submission of the Form I-914, Supplement B, is strongly advised. Instructions pertinent to the Form I-914, Supplement B, follow.
If you do not provide a completed Form I-914, Supplement B, however, you must submit an explanation, describing your attempts to obtain the certification and why it does not exist or is unavailable. If you did not attempt to obtain the certification, you must explain why you did not.

Secondary Evidence.

If you do not provide a completed Form I-914, Supplement B, Declaration of Law Enforcement Officer for Victim of Trafficking in Persons, in addition to the explanation described above, you must also submit credible secondary evidence to establish that you are or have been a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons and that you complied with any reasonable request from law enforcement. Such evidence may include, but is not limited to: police reports, newspaper articles, witness affidavits, or any other form of evidence. Even if you do provide a Form I-914, Supplement B, you may submit additional evidence.

Whether or not you provide a Form I-914, Supplement B, you must provide a personal narrative statement. That statement should describe the trafficking crime of which you were a victim, including:

  • What were the circumstances of your entry into the United States;
  • The purpose for which you were brought to the United States;
  • How you were recruited or otherwise became involved in the trafficking situation;
  • When these events took place;
  • Who was responsible;
  • How long you were detained by the traffickers;
  • How and when you escaped, were rescued, or otherwise became separated from the traffickers;
  • What you have been doing since you were separated from the traffickers;
  • Why you were unable to leave the United States after you were separated from the traffickers;
  • What harm or mistreatment you fear if you are removed from the United States; and
  • Why you fear you would be harmed or mistreated.

Attach documents to support your claim. The evidence submitted in support of the application must credibly establish each element of your claim. If you have in your possession, or have access to, a document showing how you entered the United States, you must submit a copy of that document with your application.

Paperwork Reduction Act.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor an information collection and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

USCIS tries to create forms and instructions that are accurate and easily understood. Often this is difficult because immigration law can be very complex.
The public reporting burden for this form is estimated to average three (3) hours and twenty-five (25) minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

USCIS welcomes your comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this form, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Regulatory Management Division, 111 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20529; OMB No. 1653-0027.
