San, if possible, can you make this a sticky topic so it stays on the top in case folks need to reach out to these groups for help? I've posted similar information on Sajha many times, but they dissappear as other threads get started so if you can make it a sticky topic, if not, creat another tab/section for resources so people have ready access.

Others: Your turn now...post similar information for your own cities so folks can get the help they need.

I am posting this as a "Public Service" announcement to the Nepali community. The following is a list of Legal Service Providers in Los Angeles that provide either free or low cost service to immigrants. Since they are non-profit organizations, they have income restrictions and  may also take longer to respond to calls for help, but all of them on this list are very good groups who I have had the pleasure of working with so I know they will do all they can (within their funding guidelines) to help if/when you need it.
