DACA Renewals and Immigration Legal Screenings
@PCC- Cascade: 9/20
Undocumented people face countless barriers to full participation in society and are often not given access to many necessary resources. DACA has provided some protection to a small group of undocumented people brought to the U.S. as children, including work authorization and a temporary reprieve from the threat of deportation. We can help you file a DACA renewal.
New – Immigration Screenings: The CLEAR Clinic is now available to provide immigration screenings. This does not mean we can take your immigration case, but we can provide a free consultation with an immigration lawyer to explain what your immigration options might be.
