Eligible relatives of trafficking are entitled to visas designated as T-2, T-3, T-4, or T-5 (Derivative T Visas). In the case of an immigrant who is awarded a T Visa, and who is under 21 years of age on the date the T Visa was filed, Derivative T Visas are available to the immigrant’s spouse, children, unmarried siblings under 18 years of age on the date on which the immigrant’s Visa application was filed as well as the parents of the immigrant victim. In the case of an immigrant who is awarded a T Visa and was 21 years of age or older; on the date the T Visa application was filed, the Derivative T Visas are available to the immigrant’s spouse and children.

An immigrant who has had deportation withheld under this status will have an Order of an Immigration Judge showing deportation withheld under Section 243(h) of the INA and date of the grant. USCIS Forms I-688B annotated "274a.12(a)(10)" or I-766 annotated "A10" indicate deportation was withheld under Section 243(h) or removal withheld under Section 241(b)(3), but normally do not reflect the date of withholding. Request the person's copy of the court order. If not available, verification must be obtained from the USCIS.
