The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) defines "severe forms of trafficking in persons" as either s*x trafficking induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or labor trafficking that subjects a person to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bo***ge, or slavery. This definition comes from the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 and is codified at 22 U.S.C. § 7102. Understanding this definition is essential because it determines who qualifies for a T visa, which provides temporary immigration status and a path to permanent residence for trafficking survivors in New York and across the country.
