What kind of help can I get at a legal clinic?
At a legal clinic, you meet with a lawyer for 20-30 minutes.
There are 3 main kinds of help you can get at a clinic:
- Advice about your legal problem
- Help doing things like filling out short forms or calling the immigration court
- Referral to organizations that can give you more help
Depending on your immigration case, you may need to set up an appointment for follow-up legal services.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Most clinics are walk-in clinics. The number of people the clinic can help depends on how many lawyers are there to help.
What can I do to get ready for a clinic?
Find all the paperwork and documents you have about your immigration case and bring those to the clinic. Documents include:
- Documents from the Immigration Court or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- Identity Documents - Passport, Birth Certificate, Identity Card
- Marriage Certificate
