This is often due to a lack of information and the support systems needed to navigate the US immigration system. Our legal team provides advice, application and representation support on a variety of immigration issues, including: Naturalization - applying to become a US citizen. Asylum - applying for the right to stay for persons facing persecution in their home country Adjustment - applying for Lawful Permanent Resident status (otherwise known as a "green card") Employment Authorization Document (EAD) - filing for a work permit for those with a temporary lawful status or pending application for permanent status. Family Petitions - applications for Lawful Permanent Resident status for certain close family members of US Citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents Work Petitions - applications for Lawful Permanent Resident through US based employer or business. Advance Parole - requesting permission to travel temporarily outside of the U.S. for people with certain types of temporary status or pending applications 2535 1705 Homeownership Owning your primary residence is a core foundation for wealth building. However, due to factors such as credit, tax records, and legal status many immigrants find it difficult to overcome the hurdle of owning their own home. As a result, they spend countless unnecessary dollars on renting apartments and forgo building equity. The Nigerian Center helps solve this program through its first-time homeownership program. Our housing team will provide ongoing educational programs and application support services such as: 1-on-1 homeownership counseling Access to first-time homeowner resources Related financial services such as credit building Support gathering necessary legal documents Down payment and closing cost assistance 0 6283 Language proficiency is critical to building cultural competency. We recognize that understanding a parent's native dialect is a growing need among first generation Nigerian Americans, and even within the community as a whole. We also see that other members of the general African diaspora have a strong interest in learning Nigerian languages but the opportunities to do so are limited. Lastly, we see that non-English speaking immigrants struggle to access basic services due to language barriers. The Nigerian Center is working to solve this problem by providing Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa classes along with translation services for people who don't speak English as a primary or secondary language. 0 0 0 43311 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 DC X GBENGA OGUNJIMI 3478935597 1231 Marion Barry Ave South East Washington DC 20020 Adejumoke Ojo Program Director 30 0 X 5200 0 0 GBENGA OGUNJIMI Executive Director 30 0 X 4750 0 0 Nkechi Ilechie Policy Director 20.00 X 2000 0 0 Holloway Legal PLLC Immigration Attorney 8 0 X 1750 0 0 Victor Obetta Financial Inclusion Manager 20 0 X 0 0 0 13700 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5708 0 25000 25381 0 56089 Program Service Revenue 541990 7063 1705 5358 0 0 0 0 0 7063 0 0 0 0 0 0 63152 1705 5358 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13700 13700 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13445 13445 0 0 1033 0 1033 0 0 0 0 0 1931 1931 0 0 0 0 2927 2927 0 0 8990 8990 0 0 1588 1588 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1225 0 1225 0 Other legal and Professional Fees 2661 2661 0 0 Other Office , Administrative and Support Service fees 1486 0 1486 0 48986 43311 3744 1931 0 0 3369 9735 0 2500 3369 12235 6600 1300 6600 1300 X 0 14166 -3231 -3231 -3231 10935 3369 12235 14166 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 0 1 0 X 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2 10 16818 21334 25000 0 41818 21334 1 1 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 Walk-in Immigration Clinic (In-person and Virtual) Currently leading a Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nigeria campaign aimed at helping undocumented Nigerians living in the United States 1-on-1 homeownership counseling Access to first-time homeowner resources Related financial services such as credit building Support gathering necessary legal documents Down payment and closing cost assistance Small business loans Technical assistance Business counseling and coaching Connection to business mentors and sponsors Business incorporation and permit assistance Navigating government contract opportunities, Language Classes, Policy Advocacy and recently Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) programs Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Advisory Board and the Governing Board go through the Financial Statement and other support documents particularly in line with the mission of the Nigerian Center with a view to both ensure compliance and value added program delivery to the community as part of its core mandate Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Policy Documents and Oversight Documents of the District of Columbia Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection emphasizing the focus and the service to the community as well as the other pertinent issues that impact the community through the lens of activities of the Nigerian Center Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The First year of the Nigerian Center activities was largely founder funded programs including fund raising.
