Pashto and Dari Interpreter Training with certificate
The Afghan Refugee Support Services Grant will allow us to better serve the Afghan population of Nebraska. We can help Afghan immigrants seeking asylum, family reunification, work authorization, adjustment of status, and humanitarian visas. This grant equips CLIA with resources that further progress the assistance we are able to offer in our 20 years of service.
U-Visa & VAWA (Domestic Violence related)
CLIA has been a leader among nonprofits in Nebraska in assisting immigrants who are victims of crime. CLIA was the first office in Nebraska to receive an approved U-Visa.
By providing legal immigration benefits to qualifying survivors, Congress has encouraged the reporting of crimes.
CLIA works with local police departments to gather evidence and to verify eligibility, then files the requisite legal documents and evidence. Many crime survivors have received work cards as a result, empowering them to live a safer and more independent life. These survivors can later adjust and receive Lawful Permanent Residence Status (Green Card) and eventually naturalize into United States Citizens.
Victims of Crime Act (VOCA)
Legal Services
Free immigration legal assistance with mental health services.
Mental Health Services
One-on-one sessions in English and Spanish are available. Please call for other languages.
Thanks to the Nebraska Crime Commission federal grant under the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) to empower immigrants that have been victims of crime. We can now provide mental health services along with legal immigration assistance.
Together we can all stand with the survivors and empower them to come forward with the abuse they have endured with comfort and support while reducing the negative stigma often associated with these heartbreaking situations.
Interpreter Training
Free Service
Thanks to VOCA we are able to offer interpreter / translating training in many languages.
Will receive a certificate of completion .
This training/course will cover the specific skills involved in interpreting for behavioral health and immigration cases. The purpose of the training is to introduce interpreters to areas of immigration and behavioral health and working with clients who are trauma survivors. Interpreters will build upon skills they already possess from other fields such as court, community and medical interpreting. The training offers opportunities for interpreters to discuss and practice newly acquired skills.
