Charlotte Legal Aid Center expands free legal services for immigrants

The Charlotte Legal Aid Center has expanded its Immigrant Justice Program to provide free legal guidance to individuals facing immigration court hearings in North Carolina or cases before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Previously focused on defensive asylum cases, the program now offers broader assistance to address a growing need for legal resources. The guidance aims to help immigrants navigate complex regulations, meet specific requirements, and complete English-language documentation. Organizers emphasize the importance of attending scheduled court dates and understanding available legal remedies to avoid negative consequences in their immigration processes.
