New Guide to Remote Legal Support

The Immigration Advocates Network, Pro Bono Net, and partners are
proud to publish "Remote Legal Support: A Guide for Nonprofit and Pro
Bono Innovation." The manual has "how to" information on reaching
rural and underserved communities to improve access to justice. It is
the culmination of a year's work with our national partners and IAN
members, collecting data, creating program profiles, and identifying
best practices. It features key findings from the national survey
results, to share the nonprofit immigration field's experience and
interest. The manual profiles successful Remote Legal Support (RLS)
programs, including program logistics, processes, challenges, tools,
checklists, sample documents, and best practices. It includes
projects and models from across the nonprofit sector. Click here -

project.

Citizenshipworks in the Fast Lane

Attendees at a recent naturalization workshop opted for the fast
lane: they completed more than 90% of their applications on
Citizenshipworks -
[link removed] ahead of time, and sped through the event. Workshop organizers from
the Jersey City Division of Immigrant Affairs, GMHC, and NALEO
Educational Fund invited the registrants to start in advance. On the
day of the workshop, legal advocates reviewed their near-complete
applications online. Providers across the country, from OCCORD in
Anaheim, CA to Catholic Legal Services in Miami, FL, have added a
Citizenshipworks fast lane to their events. Fast lane participants
can be in and out in half the time. They also have higher attendance
rates and require less follow-up. Interested in adding a
Citizenshipworks fast lane to your next event? Email us at
