USCIS Modifies Form I-914, the Application for T Nonimmigrant Status

USCIS announced earlier this week that it has revised Form I-914, the Application for T Nonimmigrant Status. The newly revised form is dated 3/30/2009. Previous editions of Form I-914 will be accepted for 30 days, states USCIS. The final date that these previous editions will be accepted is June 6, 2009.

The T nonimmigrant category enables temporary entry for international visits who are victims of severe forms of trafficking and, in some cases, their immediate family members. The revision to the form was required because of statutory changes recently made, but not reflected in the previous version of the form. USCIS notes that there will most likely be an additional new edition of the form, due to more recent statutory changes, not reflected in the current version.
