NCLR provides support and information to LGBT immigrants, their partners, and concerned U.S. citizens. Past projects have included free legal clinics, social brunches, marching in the San Francisco Pride Parade, an outreach campaign to LGBT individuals eligible for asylum, political demonstrations, and letter writing campaigns to legislators. All are welcome. Meet other immigrants for support, connect with attorneys, learn about the latest developments in the laws affecting immigrants, and become involved in NCLR's efforts to change the law to improve the lives of all LGBT immigrants in the United States.
All consultations are private and strictly confidential.
Our Immigration Project Director, Senior Staff Attorney Shannon Minter , can assist you and your attorney with your immigration and asylum questions. Your help is urgently needed now. Presently, about 20 members of Congress are co-sponsors of this bill, but many more are urgently needed. Contact Shannon Minter at NCLR to find out how you can contact your member of Congress to urge her or him to become a co-sponsor. Passage of this bill is extremely important because it would end the discrimination inherent in current immigration law, and would provide legal status to bi-national LGBT couples.
