Resources for Immigrants and Community Members
The IIR’s mission is to generate and amplify relevant research on immigrants and immigration to the United States through engaging with and educating the public, policymakers and the next generation of migration researchers.
While direct service to immigrants is beyond the scope of our mission, we highlight resources and organizations in Northern Virginia and beyond that might be a resource for immigrants and community members. For data on immigrants in Virginia and other U.S. geographies, please see our recent fact sheets as part of our iDod (Immigration Data on Demand) service. If a fact sheet is not available for a geography of interest, you can submit a data request here.
