To prove you contacted law enforcement, ask them to give you or your lawyer a “law enforcement declaration,” which is also known as a “law enforcement endorsement” or “LEA declaration” on Form I-914 Supplement B. This is a statement from law enforcement saying that you have cooperated with their requests in investigating or prosecuting the case.

Getting the LEA declaration is not required, but it can be very helpful to strengthen your T visa application. However, having an LEA declaration does not guarantee that you will get T visa status. It’s possible that you can get T visa status if you show you tried to be helpful but still couldn’t get a declaration from law enforcement.¹

For more information on all four requirements that you will have to prove, go to What must I prove to be eligible for T visa status?
