Quick answer
What is USCIS Form I-914 used for?
Use this form to request temporary immigration benefits if you are a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons, also known as human trafficking.
I-914 is the principal application for T nonimmigrant status
Form I-914 is used by a trafficking victim seeking T nonimmigrant status. The application requires a coherent record of the trafficking, the applicant’s presence and cooperation or applicable exception, admissibility, family information, and the harm or other facts relevant under the governing requirements. Supporting declarations and records should use a consistent chronology without forcing a survivor to speculate.
Do not confuse the principal I-914 application with its supplements for qualifying family members or law-enforcement declarations, or with Form I-918 for U nonimmigrant status. A law-enforcement document can be important evidence but does not replace the applicant’s full eligibility showing. Because the filing contains highly sensitive safety, medical, criminal, and immigration information, use trauma-informed preparation, secure handling, and qualified legal assistance.
