PRO-SE Model

What is the PRO-SE Model?

Opening Of Clinic Space

The PRO-SE Model is an innovative approach that helps individuals represent themselves (“pro se”) in their immigration cases - with professional guidance and support along the way.

Instead of full attorney representation, participants receive expert assistance, education, and resources that empower them to complete and manage their own immigration applications confidently and correctly.

Through this model, people learn about the immigration process, gain the tools they need to advocate for themselves, and receive step-by-step help from trained legal staff and volunteers.

How It Helps Our Community

Because of the PRO-SE Model, the Long Island Immigration Clinic is able to serve more people, expanding access to high-quality, affordable immigration support.
This model allows LIIC to stretch limited resources further - meaning more families, more workers, and more neighbors get the guidance they need to stay safe and secure in their immigration journey.

By working together under this model, LIIC continues to make immigration legal help accessible, empowering, and community-driven.
