As refugees and immigrants remain in the United
States, their status may be adjusted to permanent resident and
later, citizen. Others need assistance with travel documents or
petitions to bring other relatives to the United Sates.
Unfortunately, dealing with the U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Service (USCIS, formerly the INS) can be a daunting
experience that means long lines, and even longer forms. To assist
newcomers through this bureaucratic maze, IRIM's Immigration
Services Program provides clients with high quality, personal
attention at a reasonable, often-negligible cost.
The Immigration Program provides:
Free Citizenship Classes-These classes are taught throughout
the city and suburbs to provide students with the information
they need to pass the citizenship exam, and learn what is involved
in the citizenship interview process.
Our experienced staff also provides assistance in the following
areas:
- Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
- Visa processing
- Counselor processing
- Work authorization
- Travel documents
- Immediate relative petitions
- VAWA petitions for women who need to self-petition
for immigration relief without relying on an abusive spouse
- Asylum applications
Recently, our efforts to assist immigrants
have extended to the Chicago suburb, Waukegan, where our goal
is to provide quality immigration service through our community
outreach program. In Waukegan, as in other communities with a
large immigrant population, IRIM is able to provide "Know
Your Rights" seminars through the assistance of local congregations
and community social service providers thus educating the public
of their rights in the United States.

to help refugees and immigrants to attain their US Citizenship.
