T Nonimmigrants


If you are filing for an extension of status as a T nonimmigrant based on law enforcement need, submit this application with:


1. A copy of your Form I-94 or approval notice showing that you have already been granted T status; and


2. Evidence demonstrating law enforcement need, such as a new Form I-914 Supplement B, Declaration of Law Enforcement Officer for Victims of Trafficking in Persons, other evidence from law enforcement explaining that your presence is necessary, or any other credible evidence.



If you are filing for an extension of status as a T nonimmigrant based on exceptional circumstances, this application must be submitted with:


1. A copy of your Form I-94 or approval notice showing that you have already been granted T status; and

2. Evidence demonstrating exceptional circumstances, such as an affirmative statement or any other credible evidence.









NOTE: Extensions of T nonimmigrant status based on the filing of Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, do not require the filing of Form I-539. T nonimmigrant status is automatically extended when Form I-485 is filed.
