Refugees, asylum seekers, asylum seekers, and others in the U.S. who need information during the COVID-19 pandemic can visit our new client resource page. In addition to HIAS` Know Your Rights documents, available in seven languages, the site includes links to resources on the state of the U.S. immigration system, health information, legal rights, and other topics. The HIAS Immigrant Support Program ensures that immigrants achieve their individual goals through client-centred case management and guides immigrants towards better access to the social and economic services for which they are eligible. While immigration cases are pending, the primary role of the Immigrant Support Case Manager is to provide holistic, client-centred and culturally competent case management services to immigrant families participating in the Legal Services program.

IRAP`s reception and legal information team provides legal information and advice to displaced persons and, in collaboration with our offices in Jordan and Lebanon, researches cases with full legal representation through partner referrals and an automated chatbot.
Our lawyers, caseworkers and paralegals – in collaboration with our pro bono partners and student sections – then represent and litigate on behalf of clients to ensure they have access to legal protection available under national and international law, including refugee protection, special immigrant visas, asylum, family immigration and other humanitarian routes. All of our legal teams work closely with NGO partners and international and community-based organizations that work directly with displaced people on the ground to identify individuals and new groups of refugees in need of our services and to address our clients` urgent humanitarian and protection needs. In the past, HIAS has protected those fleeing violence, persecution and torture, defended them from deportation by obtaining humanitarian legal status and keeping families together through reunification. As refugees` access to protection is increasingly restricted, HIAS U.S. The legal program aims to protect and strengthen the rights of refugees and other displaced persons upon arrival in the United States and throughout their journey to citizenship. Our clients include refugees seeking asylum due to persecution or torture and other displaced persons who are victims of human trafficking and other violent crimes in the United States, including gender-based violence and hate crimes. Many of our clients are children who have fled gang violence and family violence, neglect or abandonment and whose governments have failed to protect them. Others are human rights activists from across Africa and the Middle East, and still others have been persecuted because of their race, religion, sexuality or nationality. To help our clients integrate and remain protected throughout their legal process, HIAS is dedicated to representation and comprehensive support from their arrival in the United States to citizenship. By improving access to community services and educational and employment opportunities during litigation, HIAS seeks to empower our clients to eventually become agents of change in their communities.
Through our high-volume legal services, we identify patterns of injustice that our clients face. While our legal departments strive to overcome these barriers to help our clients achieve their goals, our policy and litigation departments pursue strategies to address patterns of injustice themselves. We pride ourselves on providing culturally appropriate, exceptional quality legal services to underserved communities around the world. Our teams advocate for a stronger set of rights for our clients and ensure that the experience of exercising those rights is one of dignity and capacity. Successful healing and integration can be a long process that requires the involvement of many actors. While HIAS U.S. Legal protection is to help our clients legally remain in the United States and keep families together, we go one step further by providing access to services that also help our clients succeed and fully integrate into American society. In addition to displacement, torture and severe and persistent physical and psychosocial trauma, they face insecurity due to fear of deportation, inability to support themselves, systemic limitations in the use of medical care and other social services, and for many, they face the challenge of learning a new language in an unfamiliar environment.
IRAP`s Legal Service represents refugees and other displaced persons around the world seeking protection and safety, whether through resettlement, family reunification or other humanitarian pathways to safety.
