Oasis Legal Services
Organization Description
Oasis Legal Services is an immigration legal services nonprofit serving under-represented low-income LGBTQ+ asylum seekers. We serve over 700 LGBTQ+ asylum seekers every year, many of whom live and work in San Francisco. Oasis specializes in trauma-informed, holistic representation in affirmative asylum cases as well as lawful permanent residency, citizenship, and family petition applications. In addition to legal services, Oasis provides individualized case management for at risk clients. We train organizations and advocates around the Bay Area on how to represent LGBTQ+ immigrants and support litigation efforts advocating for the rights of, and expanding public awareness about, LGBTQ+ asylum seekers.
