Immigration

We serve non-citizens who are residents of Hennepin County and need help with immigration-related issues. We can:

Provide advice and answer immigration-related questions
Determine if you are eligible to obtain or improve your immigration status
Assist you with applications for immigration benefits, such as citizenship, work authorization, U and T visas, permanent residency, and document replacements
Provide immediate consultation for people at risk of immigration enforcement actions
Provide an attorney to help you file a petition to get out of immigration detention (a “habeas petition” process)
Represent immigrant youth in petitions for at-risk guardianship
Provide limited or full representation in immigration court for select cases

We are generally unable to assist with asylum cases or help with standalone asylum applications.

If you have a case we cannot take, we may provide consultation and offer you a referral to another agency.
