PHILADELPHIA, April 28, 2022—Duane Morris LLP is working with PNC Bank to lead two pro bono clinics focused on immigration relief as part of Financial Institution Pro Bono Day.

The PNC Bank and Duane Morris teams are supporting two pro bono efforts:

• Cuban Adjustment Act Pro Bono Virtual CLE and Clinic
  • Duane Morris and PNC Bank attorneys will work with the Immigration Justice Campaign to help Cuban immigrants apply for lawful permanent residency under the Cuban Adjustment Act. The act permits Cuban natives/citizens who have been inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States to adjust their statuses after living in the United States for one year.
• Afghan Asylum Virtual CLE and Clinic
  • Duane Morris and PNC Bank attorneys will work with HIAS Pennsylvania to join teams representing Afghan asylum seekers. Approximately 400 Afghans in the greater Philadelphia area will need pro bono assistance applying for asylum in the United States, as they currently have parole or some other time-limited immigration status in the country. The U.S. government is fast-tracking Afghan asylum claims to be adjudicated within 150 days.
