Criminal Investigator Training Program (CITP) Exam 1 Practice

T visas are nonimmigrant protections for victims of severe forms of trafficking, including sex or labor trafficking, who are present in the United States and willing to assist law enforcement. The main feature is the time-limited stay: it grants a temporary status that allows the victim to remain in the country for up to four years while cooperating with investigations or prosecutions. This duration is designed to provide safety, access to services, and a window to pursue justice, not to confer permanent residency or citizenship on its own. While there are pathways to permanent residency later through separate processes, the T visa itself is about a temporary stay of up to four years to support investigations and recovery.
