Pro bono immigration legal services (HIAS / IAN)
Backed by: HIAS Pro Bono / Immigration Advocates Network
Lawyers, law students and interpreters help Venezuelans file for TPS and asylum, a demand that spikes after the disaster.
WarningRequires a valid professional license or credential; not for general volunteers. HIAS does not name Venezuelans explicitly: confirm the clinic or case serves that population. Distrust any "registration fee" to offer pro bono services.
What it does
The quake spikes demand for immigration relief: advocates are calling to pause deportations and expand TPS given the scale of the disaster. HIAS adds volunteer lawyers to monthly remote legal clinics and to limited-scope representation. Immigration Advocates Network channels remote opportunities, including a virtual TPS clinic for Venezuelans. It is professional service directed to verified NGOs, not a state channel.

- Lawyers and students: join HIAS's pro bono program at hias.org/probono for remote clinics.
