DHS believes the T nonimmigrant
program is an effective tool in the
investigation of and fight against human
trafficking, disrupting and dismantling
human trafficking organizations and
providing support and protection to
their victims. During the reopening of
the public comment period, DHS
encourages comments and suggestions
on all aspects of the T-nonimmigrant
program and USCIS administration of
the program.
DHS is reopening the comment period
to allow interested persons to provide
up-to-date comments on the IFR in
recognition of the time that has lapsed
since the initial publication of the IFR.
Reopening the comment period ensures
that we are fully considering all current
factors, concerns and input of the
parties who may be affected by this
rulemaking. DHS also believes that the
T nonimmigrant program will benefit
from updated public comments
regarding eligibility and procedures for
the classification for T nonimmigrant
status. Due to the lapse in time since the
IFR was issued, DHS seeks to reengage
the public and allow further input on
the changes prior to finalizing this
rulemaking. DHS will consider
comments received during the entire
public comment period in our
development of a final rule.

Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland
Security.
