Classification for Victims of Severe Forms of Trafficking in Persons; Eligibility for “T” Nonimmigrant Status; Correction

This document corrects the August 23, 2024 correction to the final rule that published in the Federal Register on April 30, 2024. The final rule amended DHS regulations governing the requirements and procedures for victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons seeking T nonimmigrant status. This document will replace language unintentionally removed as a result of the prior correction.

What this means

  • This rule has been in effect since 2025-01-14. (effectiveAt)
  • The document states a requirement for the people it covers. The exact wording is quoted above — whether it applies to any particular person depends on facts this platform does not have. (impact.actionRequired)

Derived from this event’s own recorded fields — not written by a model, and not an interpretation of anyone’s case.

Who is affected

The document does not name specific countries or visa categories in its scope language. Read the original to confirm whether it applies to a particular case.

What the document says may be required

The document states a requirement for those it covers. The exact obligation, and whether it applies to a particular person, depends on the document's own terms — the relevant passage is quoted below.

If an Application for T Nonimmigrant Status was pending as of August 28, 2024, and additional evidence is required to establish eligibility for principal T nonimmigrant status, USCIS will issue a request for evidence, and conduct a bona fide review based on available evidence.

Assembled from the source document, not from anyone's individual circumstances. Whether a change applies to a specific person depends on facts this platform does not have. This is data context, not legal advice.

Methodology & sources
This record was built from the linked government document by explicit, published rules per source — never by a language model, and never by how much attention an item might attract. Where the document states who is affected, it is quoted; where ImmigrationClock inferred something, it is labelled as an inference. The source was last checked on Aug 2, 2026. Nothing here is legal advice about anyone’s case. Read the full methodology →
