WASHINGTON, DC (MASNET) Jan. 29, 2010 -  In a historic first for Muslim organizations in America, the Muslim American Society Freedom (MASF) received, On January 28th, 2010, a letter of accreditation and certification for its legal immigration project, called the Thurgood Marshall Legal Clinic. This certification, from the Board of Immigration Appeals, allows persons who are not attorneys to practice immigration laws before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the immigration courts.

MAS Freedom is the first national Muslim nonprofit organization to receive such full certification, joining major national service organization such as Catholic Charities, Lutheran Social Services, and Jewish Family Services.

 

The certification allows MAS Freedom to operate accredited immigration services in both  Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, with an opportunity to operate other facilities throughout the United States.

According to Khalilah Sabra, the MAS Freedom National Immigration Rights Coordinator, one of the goals of the immigration project is to "train legal advocates throughout the nation who are dedicated to serving immigrants, especially those who are indigent. Our BIA certification is certainly a large step in that direction, and the accreditation will also allow us to attract bright young persons who are pursuing a legal career and who have passion for this sort of work."

For additional information, please contact MAS Freedom at (202) 552-7414, (703) 642-6165 or 1-888-627-8471 or address an email to: info @ masfreedom.org.
