African Services Committee
African Services Committee is a non-profit organization dedicated since 1981 to serving and supporting the needs of the immigrant communities of New York City. We are recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals as an immigration services provider, and we assist clients through multiple grant programs that allow us to provide many services free of charge to those who meet the specific program eligibility requirements. In addition, African Services Committee operates its Immigrant Community Law Center, which provides a wider range of immigration assistance to individuals at a low fee.
