Contact us today to learn more about our services & to see if you are eligible for a consultation
Please see the Community Partners page for other organizations that offer low-cost or free help with citizenship applications, document renewals or replacements, and other immigration legal services for Hawaiʻi residents.
The Legal Clinic provides free immigration legal services to Hawaiʻi residents whose total annual household income is no more than 200% of the current federal poverty level.
In a consultation, our legal team listens to the person and discusses what options they may have. A consultation is not the same as a case. We might make referrals to legal services, social services organizations, or private attorneys, and we may give advice. TLC may also consider accepting a case if it fits our priority areas.
When we accept a client, that often means we are representing the person in a (USCIS) process or that we are getting ready to do so.
The Legal Clinic provides vital services to those living in Hawaiʻi who meet our low-income eligiblity guidelines, without regard to immigration status, national origin, ethnic background, race, religion, ideology, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
We work alongside immigrants so they can attain authorization to work and live with dignity, reunite with their families after years of separation, and escape horrific violence to find refuge in the United States.
Because we recognize that every person needs and deserves to feel a sense of trust, welcome, and belonging, our clients represent different faiths, races, traditions, and educational and professional backgrounds — each of them reflecting the powerful diversity of our cities, towns, and communities.
To ensure justice for low-income immigrants and migrants in Hawaiʻi through high-quality immigration legal services, education, and advocacy.
