Asylum: Immigration Relief for LGBT/HIV+ Victims of Persecution
More than eighty countries have laws that criminalize people who are LGBT—with several applying the death penalty. The lucky ones make it to the United States. But without legal status, they face the constant threat of deportation, are unable to work, and cannot access needed benefits related to housing, healthcare, and disability, among other things. This program provides pro bono attorneys with a history of LGBT/HIV immigration, an overview of asylum eligibility, and the affirmative asylum application process. Participants will also be trained on working with low-income LGBT/HIV+ clients.
