Verification for Victims of Trafficking

Verification for Victims of Trafficking The Federal Data Services Hub (FDSH) may verify the lawful presence of a trafficking victim, in which case no further verification is needed. It is not possible to verify victims of trafficking using the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database. If electronic verification is not possible, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) issues a certification letter for an adult who has been subjected to a severe form of trafficking and meets statutory certification requirements. The ORR also issues a similar eligibility letter for children. Other agencies may issue letters or documents to victims of severe forms of trafficking; however, the ORR letter is the acceptable verification. Victims of trafficking are not required to provide immigration documents.
