Immigration Legal Services

At Connecticut Immigrant Center, Inc., we believe that every immigrant deserves access to knowledgeable, compassionate, and affordable legal assistance. Our legal services are designed to empower individuals and families navigating the complex U.S. immigration system — ensuring their rights are protected and their voices are heard.

Our experienced attorneys and accredited representatives provide high-quality representation and guidance to low-income immigrants, refugees, and mixed-status families throughout Connecticut. We are committed to helping our clients achieve stability, security, and peace of mind as they build their lives in the United States.

Our Areas of Legal Assistance

Family-Based Immigration

We help families stay together by assisting with petitions for family reunification, adjustment of status, fiancé(e) visas, and consular processing. Our goal is to guide families through every step of the process with care and precision.

Naturalization & Citizenship

We support eligible lawful permanent residents in becoming U.S. citizens by providing application preparation, interview coaching, and test preparation resources. Our team ensures that every client understands their rights and responsibilities as future citizens.

We provide legal assistance to vulnerable immigrants seeking protection under humanitarian programs, including:
• Asylum applications
• Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

Removal Defense

For individuals facing deportation or removal proceedings, our attorneys offer experienced, strategic representation before the immigration courts. We work tirelessly to defend our clients’ rights and pursue every available avenue for relief.

Work Authorization & Status Renewal

We assist with employment authorization documents (EADs), green card renewals, and related applications to help individuals maintain lawful status and financial stability.

Know Your Rights & Community Education

Beyond individual representation, we provide community workshops and legal clinics designed to educate immigrants about their rights, available benefits, and legal options. Our outreach efforts aim to reduce fear and misinformation while building confidence and knowledge within immigrant communities.

Our Commitment

We recognize that navigating immigration laws can be overwhelming — especially for families with limited resources. That’s why our services are offered on a low-cost or sliding-scale basis, ensuring that financial barriers never prevent anyone from obtaining the legal help they need.

Our legal team works closely with social service partners, faith-based organizations, and community groups to provide a holistic approach to support — addressing not just legal needs, but also housing, employment, education, and overall well-being
