Brief Legal Screenings
Newcomers identifying immigration legal needs can request a brief legal screening. Program staff work with clients to determine legal needs and identify appropriate action(s).
Know Your Rights Training
Program staff can provide basic legal education via individual meetings, seminars, online sessions, or small group workshops. Staff work with newcomers to understand the immigration legal process, legal terminology, and policy changes, among other needs, so that newcomers understand their rights and responsibilities as asylum seekers.

“I felt so lost when I first came to the U.S. I didn’t know what to do or where to go for help. A friend told me about AsylumWorks and I was accepted as a client. I am surprised how much has changed since coming here. Now my legal case is going very smoothly and I worry less. I am so grateful to have found this organization.”
