  • U Visa Certification Advocacy Toolkit

    Posted on April 21, 2022

    Immigrants can be particularly vulnerable to certain crimes due to many factors, such as the lack of knowledge around U.S. laws, cultural difference, separation from family and friends, language barriers, and fear of being detained and/or deported. The U Visa was created to help build and strengthen community ties with law enforcement so that immigrants are not afraid to come forward and report crimes.

Promoting the Dignity of Immigrants with Affordable Legal Expertise

As it has for more than 30 years, CLINIC will fight for the rights of immigrants. CLINIC trains legal representatives who provide high-quality and affordable immigration legal services. We develop and sustain a network of nonprofit programs that serve close to 500,000 immigrants every year. We cultivate projects that support and defend vulnerable immigrant populations by:

  • providing direct representation for asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and educating them about their rights; 
  • reuniting formerly separated families;
  • increasing legal representation for those in removal proceedings and in detention;
  • providing public education on immigration law and policies; and
  • advocating for fair and just immigration policies that acknowledge the inherent dignity and value of all people.  

History has taught us that people who step up can make a difference. We hope you will join us.
