Attorney Estrada worked with local police agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to prove that his client was trafficked for purpose of slave labor when the client was a child. The case involved a type of \u201cdebt bondage\u201d where his client was forced to work to \u201crepay\u201d a debt to the trafficker. However, the client was a minor and never was actually able to repay the debt because the trafficker kept the amount owed in secret and kept adding on new \u201cexpenses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The T nonimmigrant status is a temporary immigration benefit that enables certain victims of a severe form of human trafficking to remain in the United States for up to 4 years if they have assisted law enforcement in an investigation or prosecution of human trafficking. Under federal law, a \u201csevere form of trafficking\u201d is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Sex trafficking<\/strong>: When someone recruits, harbors, transports, provides, solicits, patronizes, or obtains a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act, where the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or the person being induced to perform such act is under 18 years of age; or<\/li><li><strong>Labor trafficking<\/strong>: When someone recruits, harbors, transports, provides, or obtains a person for labor or services through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfredo stated \u201cIt\u2019s horrible that human trafficking is an issue that still exists. I am glad I was able to assist my client in moving past this horrific time of his life and maybe see some recovery through his new legal status.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"999\" src=\"https:\/\/bccimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/T-Visa-Approval-Notice.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bccimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/T-Visa-Approval-Notice.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bccimmigration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/T-Visa-Approval-Notice-480x624.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 768px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attorney Alfredo Estrada recently was successful in gaining approval by USCIS of a \u201cT-Visa\u201d for his client.
