Immigration Relief Eligibility Screenings
Immigration relief eligibility screenings are a great way to start determining your next step towards permanent residency or lawful presence. Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California provides this service for free.
Are you looking for your first step toward lawful presence or permanent residence in the United States? An immigration relief eligibility screening is a great start!
The Immigration Project at Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California provides this service for free and can help in-person (by appointment only). Clients are screened for eligibility for current immigration programs such as family-based immigration, asylum, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (S.I.J.S.), T-Visa, Temporary Protected Status (T.P.S.), U-Visa, and Violence Against Women Act (V.A.W.A.). After the screening, clients are then given next steps to proceed with immigration assistance in-house or given a local referral.
