How long USCIS is taking to decide I-914 applications for T nonimmigrant status, for survivors of human trafficking. Updated every day.
We're still collecting enough decided I-914 cases to publish our own numbers (we wait for at least 20). Until then, USCIS's published national median is 28.6 months.

USCIS first checks whether the application is bona fide. If it is, USCIS can grant deferred action and work authorization while the full application is reviewed, which can take years.
A declaration and evidence of the trafficking, and of reasonable cooperation with law enforcement (unless an exception applies), drive the decision. An optional law enforcement declaration (Supplement B) can help.

All USCIS processing timesUSCIS's published national median for I-914 is 28.6 months. We don't yet have enough decided I-914 cases of our own to publish a figure, so this page shows USCIS's number until we do.
Yes, 5,000 a year for principal applicants, but the cap hasn't been the limiting factor; the wait comes from USCIS's review queue.
Ours come from real I-914 cases we tracked from the day USCIS received them to the day they were approved or denied, over the last 12 months. USCIS's median covers its whole fiscal year and, for some forms, only one category. Neither predicts a single case exactly: your service center or field office, your category and any Request for Evidence matter more.
