Common questions

Is this help really free?

Many of these nonprofit organizations offer free or low-cost help based on your income. Fees and eligibility vary, so ask each organization directly what they charge.

Are these organizations part of your website?

No. These are independent nonprofit organizations. We are not affiliated with them and do not represent them. We list them as a public resource.

How do I know which organization to contact?

Look at the services and languages each one offers, then call ahead. Some focus on citizenship or family petitions, while others focus on asylum, detention, or survivors of crime.

Should I still talk to a lawyer?

Yes. Immigration law is complex and mistakes can be costly. A licensed immigration attorney or accredited representative can advise you about your specific situation.
