Students at the University of Virginia School of Law, where Steven Guynn earned his juris doctor degree, worked to obtain lawful immigration status for a teenage victim of human trafficking from El Salvador. The young man had been beaten, robbed, and forced to smuggle drugs into the U.S. The law students obtained a T visa for him, which provides legal status for four years to individuals who have suffered due to human trafficking and allows the recipient to apply for a green card after three years.
