MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors provides free or affordable immigration legal services, advocates for immigrant rights, and educates the community about immigration issues.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Survivors of Trafficking, Domestic Violence and other serious crimes. TNJFON represents survivors of domestic violence, trafficking, and other serious crimes. TNJFON provides long term representation for the U-Visa, T-Visa and Violence Against Women Act relief. Immigration Law Advising Advising low-income Tennesseans about their rights under U.S. immigration law. TNJFON is the largest lawyer-staff non-profit immigration legal clinics that advises individuals about humanitarian-based immigration legal issues. Immigration issues deeply affect many of our immigrant neighbors' lives, and they often fall prey to bad legal advice or, quite often, no legal advice. DACA Applications Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals On June 15, 2012, Secretary of Homeland Security announced a change of policy as to how DHS will enforce immigration law against young persons who came to the United States without documentation as children and have only known the United States as home. Pursuant to this policy, the Department will exercise prosecutorial discretion to defer removal action for qualifying young persons. TNJFON has represented more than 1500 DACA applicants. Special Immigrant Juvenile Status JFON helps unaccompanied minors under the age of 18 who are in the United States alone apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. This status will allow youth to apply for a social security number, work and obtain a drivers license. Asylum Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors represents individuals who have been forced to flee their country of origin because of persecution. We provide free long-term representation for those who are entitled to asylum relief under U.S. immigration law.
