Note sull'episodio
From Shankar & Associates PC - How Do You Obtain a Law Enforcement Declaration Without a Police Report in New York? explains how trafficking survivors in New York may request a law enforcement declaration for a T visa even when no formal police report exists. This episode explores USCIS Form I-914, Supplement B, the role of qualifying agencies, and why a police report and a law enforcement declaration serve different purposes under federal T visa rules.
Listeners will learn how T visa applicants in Nassau County, Long Island, New York City, Plainview, and throughout New York can work with agencies such as the NYPD, Nassau County Police Department, Suffolk County Police Department, Kings County DA, Queens County DA, Nassau County DA, Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI, the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division, the EEOC, the New York State Attorney General’s Office, the New York State Department of Labor, and child protective services agencies like OCFS.
The episode also covers key exceptions to the cooperation requirement under INA § 101(a)(15)(T), including the minor exemption for applicants who were under 18 when trafficking occurred and the trauma exception for applicants unable to cooperate because of physical or psychological harm. It explains how USCIS evaluates cooperation under 8 C.F.R. Part 214, Subpart C, including 8 C.F.R. §§ 214.204 and 214.208, and how alternative evidence may help when Form I-914B is unavailable.
