We are the principal provider of immigration legal services in central and southern Illinois
Who We Are
We've provided access to immigration justice to the immigrant community of downstate Illinois for over 25 years.
Recognizing that access to accurate, complete information regarding immigration law is geographically and economically restricted for underserved immigrant populations in downstate Illinois, the Immigration Project endeavors to provide access to justice for immigrants and their families through immigration-related legal and educational services to immigrants, refugees, their families and others in downstate Illinois, in a manner and context which recognizes the full dignity of each individual.
Our Approach
We are the only not-for-profit organization in our service area that staffs full-time immigration attorneys, and we are committed to legal excellence.
With offices in the Bloomington-Normal and Champaign-Urbana areas, over 100 annual regional clinics and workshops, and state-wide partnerships we pair top-quality legal advocacy with a rural-regional service approach to ensure access to legal representation across 86 counties.
