The Immigration Legal Services program can help with a variety of immigration matters, including:

Naturalization/Citizenship applications

We help file naturalization/citizenship applications including fee waivers for USCIS fees if eligible. If you have had your legal permanent residency for 5 years you may be eligible to apply. If you have been married to and living with your United States citizen spouse for 3 years you may qualify to apply after 3 years of having your legal permanent residency.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Renewals

We can help you renew your DACA if you have already been approved DACA before. We are not able to help with initial DACA applications. Due to a court injunction, DHS is currently prohibited from approving initial DACA requests.

Humanitarian-based petitions for victims of crime (U Visa and VAWA)

We help file applications for the U Nonimmigrant visa (U Visa) and for VAWA cases. If you are looking for help with filing an initial asylum application for crimes that happened in another country, please do not schedule an appointment. We do not handle initial asylum cases.

If you have been a victim of a serious crime in the United States including domestic violence, have filed a police report and you have cooperated with the police you should schedule a consultation for a U nonimmigrant visa.

If you have been a victim of domestic violence by an immediate family member that is a United States Citizen or Legal Permanent Residency you should schedule a consultation for VAWA.
