Program accomplishments

  • Legal Immigration Services: CHIRLA's Legal Service Department has been recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) since August 30, 2011, to provide immigration legal services at low-cost. CHIRLA's legal staff comprises licensed attorneys, Department of Justice (DOJ) accredited representatives, Juris Doctors (awaiting bar results), trained paralegals (all awaiting DOJ accreditation decisions), and legal assistants. Since 2012, CHIRLA's legal staff has submitted thousands of applications for U.S. Naturalization forms (N-400). Since August 15, 2012, CHIRLA has filed thousands of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) initial and renewal applications, and has helped thousands of immigrants receive immigration assistance including: family petitions, waivers, consular process, adjustment of status, U-Visa, deportation defense, renewals for Legal Permanent Residency, VAWA, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Employment Authorization Document (EAD) renewal, pro se immigration filings, motions to reopen and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. CHIRLA's legal clinic and triage provides general consultations to over 30 clients 3 times a week and carefully evaluates each case, analyzes any red flags, and determines whether clients are eligible for U.S. Naturalization, DACA, or any other immigration relief. Each month, CHIRLA's legal services team sees hundreds of clients.

  • Organizing: CHIRLA organizes a membership base to harness the power of a collective voice. Over the years, CHIRLA has applied principles of community organizing leadership development, strategies and tactics. With a robust and organized membership, CHIRLA coordinates actions to win pro-immigrant policies that make a difference in the lives of members. CHIRLA organizes its membership base into the following committees: Household Worker Committee, Street Vendor Committee, as well as student committees for the California DREAM Network at 35 colleges and universities statewide, and Wise Up! at 10 Los Angeles and Pasadena area high schools. Additionally, CHIRLA organizes members into regional committees. These committees meet monthly to plan campaigns and participate in CHIRLA actions such as marches, forums, and town halls, as well as traveling to Sacramento and Washington, D.C. to participate in non-lobbying education of elected officials about the issues affecting low-wage immigrant workers, students, and their families.
