Description
National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) provides immigration legal services to non-citizen survivors of human trafficking. NIJC attorneys and paralegals represent trafficking survivors living in their geographic service area in applications for T visas and permanent residence/adjustment of status. The T visa allows survivors of trafficking to obtain employment authorization and opens a path to lawful permanent residence status and citizenship. They also assist survivors in petitioning for eligible family members. In some cases, they can also represent trafficking survivors in U visa applications, VAWA self-petitions, removal defense, and other forms of relief.
