Immigration Services

In 2008, UCCW reached the long-term goal of becoming an accredited agency by the BIA and since that time has employed BIA representative to provide with any immigration advice, filling out immigration forms, and practicing immigration law. Accredited representatives, therefore, have the same basic obligations to their clients as do attorneys in carrying out this representation The mission of accredited representative is to help low and moderate income immigrants in the United States receive the rights and privileges that they are guaranteed under U.S. law.

In order to legally provide immigration services, each organization must be recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and have its own accredited representative. An accredited representative provides affordable, quality legal representation for those in need with respect to immigration and nationality law. Accredited representatives are authorized to represent clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR), and the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in exactly the same manner as are attorneys. (See 8 CFR §292.1(a)(4).)

For low-income families some services are offered FREE of charge.
