Battered Immigrant Project

Document Actions

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Battered Immigrant Project was a project begun in 2002 to advocate for and represent battered migrant farmworkers in Michigan on immigration issues.

Beginning in September of 2004, the Battered Immigrant Project expanded to serve ALL immigrants in the State of Michigan who are otherwise eligible in terms of income and other qualifications.

As of September 2006, the Battered Immigrant Project funding ended, and we are no longer able to accept new cases unless the clients are migrant farmworkers.

The Battered Immigrant Project provides:

1. Counsel and Advice on immigration law for immigrants who suffer from domestic violence.

2. Direct Representation for immigration petitions for victims of domestic violence.

3. Referral to domestic violence service programs and other social service providers.

4. Advice and counsel on basic family law issues (divorce, custody) and referral to legal services programs if necessary.

The Battered Immigrant Project also advocates and educates domestic violence service providers, legal advocates, and other social service providers in a variety of forums.
