Eligibility for Services
ILCM provides free brief legal advice and full legal representation
to immigrants and refugees in Minnesota who qualify for services based on the
following:
Income: All client income must be at or below 187.5% of the federal poverty
line. Please see chart below for specifics.
Type of immigration case: ILCM can only assist in immigration-related
cases. If you are an immigrant who needs help with another area of law, such as
housing, family law, public benefits, or employment, our office will not be able
to assist you. Also, we cannot assist with nonimmigrant visas such as student
or business visas.
Available staff resources: Like every service provider, ILCM does not have
unlimited staff resources. We may not be able to assist with every case, even
though you may otherwise qualify for our services. We strive to help with as many
cases as possible while still providing high-quality representation.
If you meet the first three criteria you will need to call
during our phone intake from Monday to Thursday 12:00 to 1:30 pm. We are
unable to accept walk-in appointments. Calling during our weekly phone intake
is the only way that new clients will be able to receive legal advice from our
office.
Please call 651-641-1011 to verify times for this week's phone intake. The number
to call for the phone intake is 1-800-223-1368.
