This training covers the situations Afghans are facing now, and the steps you can take to protect yourself and your family. You do not need any legal background to attend.

Your rights in an encounter

What your rights are if immigration officers come to your home or workplace, or approach you in public, and what you do and do not have to do.

Check-ins and appointments

How to prepare for an ICE check-in or ISAP appointment, a USCIS interview, or an asylum office appointment, and what to bring.

If you are detained

What a final order of removal means, what happens in detention, and the steps you and your family can take right away.

A family safety plan

How to put together emergency documents, powers of attorney, and a plan so your family is ready if something happens.

Finding real help

How to find and work with a qualified immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative, and how to avoid scams.

General legal information, not legal advice. This training provides general information to help you understand your rights. It is not legal advice, and attending does not create an attorney-client relationship. Immigration law is complex and changes quickly. For help with your own case, consult a qualified immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative. AfghanEvac maintains resources for Afghans and their advocates at afghanevac.org/explainers.
