Public
Toolkit for BIA Recognition & Accreditation
On, February 17, 2012 the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) announced that it was reviewing and considering amendments to the regulations governing the recognition of organizations and accreditation of representatives who appear before EOIR. CLINIC then participated in both open public meetings hosted by EOIR to solicit public comment on both these regulations. Additionally, CLINIC submitted comments on March 6, 2012 prior to the public meetings and these comments on March 30, 2012 on behalf of its network.
Once EOIR finalizes any changes, CLINIC will update this Toolkit to reflect the new regulations. Please check back frequently to be alerted to any new information.

Information for Asylees and Refugees
Refugees naturalize at a higher rate than other, non-refugee immigrants, yet they often face serious challenges in the naturalization process due to advanced age, disabilities, low income, limited English proficiency, and low levels of literacy. Refugees also face challenges to civic participation such as language and cultural barriers, unfamiliarity with U.S. civic institutions, and reluctance to get involved in community affairs due to negative experiences in their native countries.
