Information & Assistance Services
The Immigration Information and Assistance program offers comprehensive services and direct support to newly arrived immigrants and individuals navigating life in the United States. Our aim is to assist Bay Area immigrants in achieving self-sufficiency, ensuring equal protection under the law, and facilitating the civic integration of aspiring new Americans. We do so by aiding them in obtaining lawful permanent resident status (commonly known as a green card) and attaining U.S. citizenship through our Citizenship program.
At the heart of our client-centered case management approach lie principles of advocacy, compassion, and justice. Our case managers, accredited by the Department of Justice, possess extensive experience in working with individuals from underserved backgrounds. They are deeply committed to helping clients understand their rights and make informed choices about their future.
