CLIA is the only Lincoln community based grassroots organization providing comprehensive legal services so immigrants and refugees in Nebraska can thrive.
At the Center for Legal Immigration Assistance (CLIA) we’ve worked on improving the lives of over 13,000 immigrants through direct legal services.
Immigrants are integral, important, and necessary members of our society. When you invest in an immigrant’s future, the investment benefits all Americans. Our clients pay taxes to the state, obtain an education to fulfill their passions and dreams, and support their communities by giving back to society.
Our Impact
Our numbers speak volumes
We may be a small nonprofit organization but our numbers speak for themselves. We are happy to be able to continue to grow and help more people every day.
What our Clients Have to Say

“I can't thank CLIA enough for reuniting me with my baby after being separated during the fall of the Afghan government. I was met with dead ends everywhere I turned for help until I found Alicia at CLIA.”

Thank you to CLIA for all of their help. I’ve been at their office for over 10 years and they have helped me with my U-visa, work permit, my children, my green card, and now my US citizenship. I couldn't be more thankful that it was done completely pro-bono
