The International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) provides free legal help to some refugees and displaced people.
- IRAP helps some people find services and prepare refugee and visa applications.
- IRAP is not part of any government, IOM, or UNHCR.
- IRAP cannot grant refugee status or visas or speed up cases.
- IRAP cannot provide financial help, find or pay for housing, or find jobs.
- All of IRAP’s help is free. No one affiliated with IRAP has the right to ask you for money or any other service.
IRAP decides to help people based on their need and eligibility for immigration status. IRAP does not decide to help people based on any other social or political or religious criteria.
This website provides general information about legal processes available to some refugees. It is not meant as legal advice for individual applications.
If you are in a refugee emergency, we recommend that you contact the UNHCR office in the country where you live.
IRAP works with these organizations to provide information on CAM:
CAM Hotline: The International Rescue Committee (“IRC”) operates a hotline in collaboration with IRAP to answer general questions from families in the CAM program. Please note that the CAM Hotline cannot give legal advice and you must leave a message to get a call back. The Hotline can connect you with a lawyer in some cases if your question is legal in nature. In some cases, you will be offered legal representation.
