Part 1. What Is the Purpose of This Form?

Eligibility for employment authorization will last for the

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-1 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-1 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.

Required Documentation for Application.

An application must be filed with evidence sufficient to

Principal Applicant for T
Nonimmigrant (T-1) Status.

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

of extreme hardship, in his or her initial application.

Form I-914, Supplement A.

Form I-914 Instructions (07/30/07)Y Page 2

2. 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-1 nonimmigrant status, or of a person granted
T-1 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-1 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;

1.
2.
3.

How you were recruited or otherwise became involved in
the trafficking situation;

4. When these events took place;
5. Who was responsible;
6. How long you were detained by the traffickers;
7. How and when you escaped, were rescued, or otherwise
became separated from the traffickers;
8. What you have been doing since you were separated from
the traffickers;
9. Why you were unable to leave the United States after you
were separated from the traffickers;
10. What harm or mistreatment you fear if you are removed
from the United States; and
11. 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.
