A T visa is a type of visa allowing certain victims of Human trafficking to remain in the United States if they agree to assist law enforcement in testifying against the perpetrators.
T-1 visas are available to people who:
came to the United States illegally to engage in commercial sex work, involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery
committed commercial sex acts, or agreed to come to the US, as a result of force, fraud, or coercion
would suffer extreme hardship if deported
report their trafficking crime to federal authorities and, if at least 15 years old, help with investigations and prosecutions
Related visas include:
T-2 visas - spouses of T-1 applicants
T-3 visas - children of T-1 applicants
T-4 visas - parents of T-1 applicants who are children
