Welcome

We are welcoming more new immigrants to Maine every day. These pages cover some basic questions many immigrants ask.

If you need more in-depth legal information, contact the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project or Pine Tree Legal Assistance. You will find more help agencies at the bottom of each page. Use the links listing on the left to find the topic you are looking for.

This site is funded by a grant from the Maine Bar Foundation. The content is provided by Maine Law & Civics Education of the University of Maine School of Law, with assistance from the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project and Pine Tree Legal Assistance.

The law is always changing. We cannot promise that this information is always up to date. Always talk to a lawyer, if you can, before taking any legal action.
