The 2018 Path to Citizenship Annual Report has been issued.

2018 Path to Citizenship Annual Report

PATH TO CITIZENSHIP is a northeast Iowa non-profit whose mission is to aid people who need help navigating the complicated path to legal status. Founded by a coalition of Decorah area faith groups and working in partnership with Justice for Our Neighbors (JFON), a national United Methodist group, Path to Citizenship provides free legal advice on the immigration process. With the help of JFON attorneys, the organization holds quarterly legal aid clinics, with appointments available for ten clients at each clinic.

In 2016, their work was expanded to include collaboration with the Archdiocese of Dubuque Catholic Charities Immigration and Legal Services, offering legal clinics in quarters opposite JFON clinics. These offer individual client appointments, especially for unaccompanied minors in northeast Iowa. They also have a microloan fund for costs associated with the citizenship process.
