ICDR COMMUNITY AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES
The ICDR is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit social service organization, of which one of the primary objectives is to provide low- and/or no-cost immigration legal services to low-income and indigent communities in need of such assistance within the United States under the 8 C.F.R. We will provide immigration legal services that are free or low-cost primarily to low-income and indigent clients within the United States under the 8 C.F.R. § 1292.11(a)(1), (b) after the approval of the ICDR’s Recognition and Accreditation from the U.S. Department of Justice/EOIR/OLAP. We've applied for DOJ Recognition and Accreditation to be authorized to provide immigration legal services (DOJ R&A is in the review process).
The ICDR has built visibility and credibility through networking, collaboration, and outreach activities in order to sustain and expand our services. Please click here to see our services.
We coordinate with attorneys and staff attorneys through affiliate or partner organizations, such as USCRI and VLNDC, to which we will refer our clients on complex immigration matters. Our law graduates and interns/volunteers help the organization to expand our program’s capacity. These law graduates with immigration experience assist us with research, advocacy, and educational activities supporting our social service.

About
ICDR International aims to create a safe space for low-income families and immigrants who require guidance through an often daunting and intimidating process by providing a myriad of resources and services . We collaborate with organisations and individuals to provide an abundance of educational services and guidance, including: immigration, employment and labor, family and domestic issues, and access to public health.
No one will be turned away due to inability to pay. This policy ensures that we stay aligned with the core values of ICDR—advocating for dignity and respect of all immigrants, regardless of economic status, race, caste, religion, or country of origin.
The Center acts as a referral agency in order to access public services offered by local, state and federal governments as well as acts as a bridge between law firms and communities for their required legal assistance. The center would aid the target population – who are cost-burdened to access public benefits and programs designed by various governments agencies. The center would ameliorate the challenges of these people by providing affordable community and immigration services and other public services through referrals to credible (public) service providers and litigation agencies. Some of the center’s services would include public healthcare, fair housing, workforce development, youth empowerment, training/seminars on immigration policies, USCIS forms preparation and completion, and DACA application.
The center would (among other things) advocate for civil rights and justice for all; act as a liaison and referral agent; and collaborate with community-based organizations, public and private firms, and nonprofits and government agencies to educate and build awareness within the DMV people. The center has already gained the support and affiliations of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, various law firms, civil rights organizations, human rights organizations, community-based organizations, diaspora organizations, and many line agencies of local, state, and federal governments.
Our Mission
ICDR’s Center for Community and Immigration Service Program mission is to provide affordable immigration legal service and civil rights-related educational services to diverse immigrant and low-income communities. We advocate for the dignity and respect of all immigrants, other diverse minorities and low-income communities regardless of their race, caste, religion, or country of origin.
