The Northern Manhattan Coalition for Immigrant Rights (NMCIR), is a non-profit organization, founded in 1982 to educate, defend and protect the rights of immigrants. Recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), NMCIR is committed to expanding access to legal immigration services, participating in policy making and community organizing. Most of the individuals who walk through the doors of the Coalition are low-income, non-citizen immigrants from the Caribbean, Latin America, and increasingly, Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. Some have lived in the U.S. for decades, others are recent immigrants. The Coalition is often their first entrée into accessing legal aid or basic social services. The Coalition educates, organizes and defends the immigrant community around the following issues: Family Reunification, Citizenship, Family Based Petitions, Adjustment of Status and Deportation. We provide Direct Services to walk-in participants from Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm. For more information, please call 212-781-0355 or visit our website.
