As the legal services provider for the Undocumented Student Program, the East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) provides immigration legal consultations and, as resources and circumstances allow, full legal representation to:
- Currently enrolled UC Berkeley students (undergraduate, graduate, or professional) who are undocumented or have been granted DACA or humanitarian protection (such as Temporary Protected Status, U visa, T visa, asylum, VAWA, parole, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status); and
- Immediate family members (spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, sibling) of UC Berkeley students, when:
- The UC Berkeley student is eligible for our services (see above) and has already received a consultation with EBCLC, and
- The family member is undocumented or has been granted DACA or humanitarian protection (such as Temporary Protected Status, U visa , T visa, asylum, VAWA, parole, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status), and
- The family member meets income and geographic eligibility requirements*
*To meet income eligibility requirements for family members, household income from all sources must be at or below 250 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines as published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. There are no geographic eligibility requirements for legal consultations; for full legal representation, family members must reside in or have proceedings in the Bay Area.
EBCLC reserves the right to amend case acceptance guidelines in light of limited resources.
