How to Help Individuals with Immigration Problems

A GUIDE FOR CHURCHES

 

Individuals in our congregations, communities, and our own families often need help navigating the complex U.S. immigration system.

-d
–
Some practical ways churches can help:
  • Contact Disciples Immigration Legal Counsel for a free consultation and referral
  • Find an immigration lawyer or accredited representative
  • Help with legal fees and application costs
  • Translate documents
  • Help gather the evidence requested by the lawyer or representative
  • Provide transportation or childcare for court dates and immigration interviews
  • Visit individuals in immigration detention

 BE THE CHURCH

The most important thing a church community can do is to provide emotional and spiritual support to someone during what is often a long and arduous process. Sometimes the end result is joyous, and sometimes it is heartbreaking. Individuals need a strong community to listen to them, cry with them, pray with them, and hope for them.

Want to do more?
  • Teach English as a Second Language
  • Start a detention visitation program
  • Host a legal clinic with local attorneys
  • Tutor individuals studying for the naturalization (citizenship) test

The possibilities are endless. We’d love to hear what your congregation is doing!
