What this covers

Immigration legal help, DACA assistance, asylum support, refugee resettlement, naturalization help, know-your-rights information, language access, and immigrant community services.

Does not cover: Tourist visas, business immigration, or employment-based immigration (consult a private immigration attorney).

Who is this for?

Immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, DACA recipients, and their families who need legal help, language access, or community support.

How help usually works

For legal advice, use a licensed lawyer. You can also use a DOJ-accredited representative who works for a recognized group. Ask about your type of case and the cost.

When help can start: Ask when you can meet. A listing cannot tell you how a case will end or give you more time to act.

How to start

  1. Give the date of any hearing or deadline when you call.
  2. Check that the person is allowed to give the type of legal help you need.
  3. For daily needs or language help, ask a local group that serves immigrants.

What to bring

Ask what papers to bring and how to send them safely. Keep a copy of each item you send.

If you need help soon

If you face detention, removal or a court date, tell a qualified legal provider at once. For other needs, ask to book a meeting.
