Imigra Foundation Free Consultation: Accessible Legal Support for Immigrants

Imigra Foundation Free Consultation: Accessible Legal Support for Immigrants

At Imigra Foundation, we believe that information saves lives and transforms journeys. We know that many immigrants face doubts, fears, and difficulties in understanding the U.S. immigration system — and that access to quality guidance can make all the difference. That’s why we offer free consultations once a month, always by prior appointment.

When and How Do the Consultations Take Place?

  • Usually on the last Thursday of each month
  • Hybrid format: online for those far away, and in-person for those who can visit our office located in the heart of New York City
  • By appointment only, ensuring personalized and responsible attention

In urgent situations, our team goes above and beyond to make exceptions and find time to help those who truly need it.

Who Leads the Consultations?

The consultations are led by Kelly Fontoura, founder of Imigra Foundation, a DOJ-accredited representative with nearly two decades of experience in immigration processes. Kelly has assisted hundreds of immigrants in diverse situations — always with ethics, professionalism, and empathy, values that define our organization’s mission.

How Does the Screening Work?

Before the consultation, our team of trained paralegals conducts daily case screenings. This first contact helps to:

  • Understand each immigrant’s situation
  • Assess the urgency of the case
  • Direct the person to the best type of assistance
  • Prepare the consultation with preliminary information

This ensures that each session is efficient, focused, and truly responsive to the client’s needs.

Why Participate?

  • Free and safe guidance from a DOJ-accredited professional
  • Accessible service — available online or in person
  • Human-centered support, offered in Portuguese and English
  • A social commitment — prioritizing those who need it most
