ILSAA provides Eligible Afghan Arrivals (EAAs) across the country with the free legal services they need to navigate the U.S. legal immigration system.
We also build the capacity of Legal Service Providers (LSPs) to better serve EAAs.
ILSAA is funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and implemented by the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI).
Immigration Legal Services for Afghan Arrivals (ILSAA) attorneys and their teams provide free immigration legal services for Eligible Afghan Arrivals (EAAs), including support for pathways to permanent residency, such as obtaining asylum status and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) status, family reunification and more.
Services are available in all of the languages spoken in Afghanistan, including Dari and Pashto.
To request legal services, email ILSAA with your name, phone number, and primary language preference to identify translation needs.
An ILSAA team member will respond within two business days and help determine your eligibility. If you are eligible, ILSAA will match you with a qualified Legal Service Provider (LSP) who meets your needs.
You are considered an EAA if you are an Afghan humanitarian parolee, an unaccompanied Afghan minor, or other Afghan with eligible status as defined in ORR Policy Letter 22-01.
At this time, ILSAA cannot provide legal assistance to Afghans who are outside of the United States.
