Updated CLINIC Guide on Asylee Eligibility for Resettlement Assistance

Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC) announces its newly updated publication, Asylee Eligibility for Resettlement Assistance. This guide is designed to help service providers address the barriers to resettlement and integration faced by asylees. It contains important and timely information about the benefits and services for which asylees are eligible, including job placement assistance, English language classes, medical screening, cash assistance, social security cards, employment authorization documents, adjustment of status, I-94s, travel authorization, petitioning for immediate relatives, and federal student financial aid. The guide, updated to January 2012, is a free resource for service providers that can be viewed and printed in PDF format on the CLINIC website. A limited number of free, printed copies are available by request. To request a printed copy, contact Laura Burdick via e-mail at lburdick@cliniclegal.org. Additional resources are available on the project website.
