We screen for a broad range of legal relief when we meet with our clients and inform them of the immigration benefits they are eligible to apply for and the implications of applying for them. Our Pathway to Citizenship Long Island program provides free citizenship legal services, credentialing of foreign-earned degrees and free financial counseling for lawful permanent residents. Our Refugee Child Unit program conducts legal outreach and intake for unaccompanied children that have resettled in Nassau and Suffolk counties, assessing avenues of legal relief  and representation for children that are currently in deportation proceedings.
