Disability Rights North Carolina (DRNC) does not provide immigration legal services and cannot represent people in immigration cases. When we are unable to provide direct advocacy, we aim to share general information and referrals to other organizations that may be able to assist.
The organizations listed below provide immigration legal services. Disability Rights North Carolina is not connected to these groups and cannot promise results. Please contact them directly to learn how they may be able to help you or your family.
Note: If you contact an organization and they are not able to assist, ask whether they know of another resource that may be able to help. Many organizations work closely together and can often point you in the right direction.
If your situation also involves disability-related discrimination, denial of accommodations, abuse and neglect in detention centers, or accessibility issues, please let us know so we can determine whether that falls within our scope.
