Welcome to Immigration and Citizenship Support at CMLC
We proudly provide key services to our community, including a free legal clinic offering 30-minute consultations with immigration lawyers, tailored tutoring for the citizenship test, and interest-free loans for immigration filing fees. Our dedicated volunteers will assist you with understanding the naturalization processes and resources.
Our Immigration Legal Clinic operates every first and third Wednesday of the month from 4-6 pm, providing FREE 30-minute consultations with an experienced immigration lawyer. Schedule your 30 minute free consultation today to address your immigration concerns.
To ensure understanding and comfort, interpretation services are available in languages including Arabic, French, Hindi, Kisii, Korean, Mam, Mandarin, Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish. If you require interpretation in a language that is not listed, please reach out to us so that we can help you with your needs.
If you need an interpreter present at your appointment please book at least 3 weeks in advance.
Advice from the legal clinic is given by a trained immigration attorney and still is advice only; it may or may not be the most appropriate course of action in your particular circumstance. Check with a second opinion if in doubt. There is no recourse against the Corvallis Multicultural Literacy Center, the attorney, or appointment notetaker. No attorney-client relationship is created by the consultation.
Schedule Your Consultation
Appointments occur virtually via Zoom or by telephone call. In advance, prepare any documents that will inform your case.
