The Refugee Immigration Project at JALA provides immigration assistance to only certain types of immigrants: refugees, asylees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, Amerasians, victims of human trafficking, special immigrant Iraqis & Afghanis, etc. Most of the work involves helping these clients obtain their green cards, citizenship, employment authorization, and to bring family members to the U.S. Law student volunteers and/or (for credit) externs/interns, particularly those who speak the following languages are needed: SPANISH, FRENCH, ARABIC, FARSI, NEPALI, or BURMESE, and/or who have had immigration class/clinic experience. Law students should also apply for a (paid) summer internship with our project through the Florida Bar Foundation.
