Immigration Legal Services

Our Immigrants’ Rights Center offers high-quality, low-cost or pro bono services to individuals otherwise unable to obtain legal assistance. We seek to assist individuals who seek asylum, legal permanent residency, citizenship or reunification with their families, as well as victims of human trafficking, serious crimes and domestic violence.

Please note: We receive hundreds of inquiries per week. Please allow 5 to 7 business days to hear from our legal team. Case processing times vary depending on the nature of the case.  When adequate information and paperwork has been received, our legal team will provide an estimate of the case timeline.  We are experiencing longer wait and processing times for many types of case.

If you believe that you or someone you know is in need of immigration legal services, please report it by filling out this form.
