Our program has worked with clients from over 26 different countries that include United Kingdom, China, Colombia, Mexico, Somalia, Burma, Togo, Sudan, El Salvador, Canada, and many more.  We see approximately 80 new cases each quarter and do educational outreach at least once a month. 

Here are a few success stories from just this last quarter:

  • Assisted a woman who was paralyzed in a drive by shooting at the age of 16 to obtain a U-Visa as she was the victim of a crime
  • Helped a two year old who was paralyzed from a drunk driving accident get a U-Visa
  • Assisted a Togolese woman to become a United States Citizen
  • Helped a naturalized United States citizen bring her two children to the U.S from El Salvador that had been waiting for 11 years
  • Helped a homeless Refugee from Sudan be approved for permanent residency
  • Assisted a family of 10 Refugees from Burma receive their legal permanent residency
  • Helped a United States citizen get residency for her husband, originally from Thailand, who had meet when they became high school sweethearts during a foreign exchange program.
