In their presentation today at the "Together Let's Stop Traffick" International Summit, Benjamin Greer and Scott Dyle drew our attention to the USA's T-Visa exception for victims of trafficking suffering from extreme trauma (PTSD).

To summarize, the T-Visa is a temporary visa issued by the Department of Homeland Security to allow victims of trafficking to stay in the US in order to help law enforcement convict their traffickers by acting as witnesses in court. However, due to the nature of their experience and the consequent extreme trauma victims can suffer from, they are often willing but unable to help - resulting in the visa being denied. The exemption takes extreme trauma into account and makes it possible to apply for the T-Visa and be considered, provided that the victim can be helped to supply documented evidence of PTSD.

Here are the forms they referenced in their presentation:

PTSD Disability Benefits Questionaire
PTSD Statement of Support
