About the Program

Immigration Legal Services

If you are a student needing immigration legal services, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), can help. We have on-campus locations at colleges across California that serve students, faculty and staff to ensure their rights and protections. The CHIRLA immigration attorneys and Department of Justice representatives at these locations provide culturally competent, reliable expertise with sensitivity to the trauma our immigrant community regularly sustains.

WE ARE HERE TO HELP

  • Immigration consultations
  • DACA renewal
  • Naturalization
  • Family-based immigration
  • Know-your-rights sessions

CHIRLA Student Legal Services is a project of CHIRLA’s full-service legal department. At a time when such services are scarce, CHIRLA gives our community the high quality legal representation it deserves. CHIRLA is recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and provides its services free or at low cost. Licensed attorneys supervise all legal staff, including accredited representatives and paralegals.

If you are not on campus but need an immigration legal consultation, please visit CHIRLA's headquarter offices on Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays, beginning at 8 a.m. Only the first 20 people in line are guaranteed to be seen.

Regular triage walkins are currently suspended due to COVID-19. Contact our Hotline for updates: 1.888.624.4752.

"I did my DACA renewal online and it was a very smooth process. It felt like if I had done it in person, Sylvia helped me and she explained the process."
–Manuel J.

"The whole over all experience was good. Everything was great and we did have a lot of checkup calls to make sure that all the information was correct."
–Jesus V.
