About Us
ILSAA has helped over 10,000 eligible Afghans find immigration legal assistance in the U.S.
Who We Are
The Immigration Legal Services for Afghan Arrivals (ILSAA) project began in December 2022, when the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) awarded nearly $35 million to the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) to provide direct legal services to Afghan humanitarian parolees.
Since that time, ILSAA has:
- Provided immigration legal services at no cost to over 5,000 principal Afghan clients, as well as their families. In all, ILSAA has helped over 10,000 Afghans find the legal representation they need to navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration system.
- Aided Afghans by filing cases for Asylum, Green Cards, Family Reunification, and more.
- Helped build the capacity of a network of legal service providers across the U.S., supporting attorneys in building knowledge and skills and sharing best practices and timely information in the quickly evolving field of immigration law.
ILSAA's government funding is for a limited time, and we are no longer taking new clients. However, we will continue to provide legal services for our existing clients and share useful resources and information, in English, Dari, and Pashto, for all Afghan immigrants.
Although ILSAA is no longer accepting new clients, we will continue to provide useful information and resources to the Afghan immigrant community and to immigration legal service providers.
