Immigration Legal Services
At Amigos de Guadalupe, we believe every person deserves to live with safety and dignity—no matter where they were born. Our Immigration Legal Services team offers trusted, affordable, legal support to immigrant families. As the only non-profit in East San Jose with an immigration legal services team, we walk with our community through each step of the process, helping them understand their rights and options.
Yesenia | Asylum
"The Immigration Attorneys reviewed my case carefully and found I was eligible to apply for permanent residency. With their support, I gathered my documents, completed the forms, and submitted my application, and ultimatelyI received my permanent residency card. That moment brought me so much peace and a sense of security I had been waiting for since arriving here. To anyone currently going through their own immigration process, I want to say: Don’t give up. Keep fighting for your case. It is possible to reach this goal, just as I did."
Yesenia | Asilo
"Los abogados de inmigración revisaron mi caso cuidadosamente y determinaron que cumplía con los requisitos para solicitar la residencia permanente. Con su apoyo, reuní mis documentos, completé los formularios y presenté mi solicitud, y finalmente recibí mi tarjeta de residente permanente. Ese momento me brindó una gran paz y la seguridad que había estado esperando desde mi llegada. A quienes estén atravesando su propio proceso de inmigración, les digo: No se rindan. Sigan luchando por su caso. Es posible alcanzar esta meta, tal como yo lo hice."
Work Permit for T42 Family
"I walked from Venezuela to the U.S. in search of stability and safety. I sold flowers on the streets to afford my work permit filing fees while my family took refuge at one of Amigos' emergency shelters. Today my wife and I have jobs, and we are saving up to rent our own place."
Permiso de trabajo para la familia T42
"Caminé desde Venezuela hasta Estados Unidos en busca de estabilidad y seguridad. Vendí flores en la calle para pagar la tramitación de mi permiso de trabajo mientras mi familia se refugiaba en uno de los albergues de emergencia de Amigos. Hoy, mi esposa y yo tenemos trabajo y estamos ahorrando para alquilar nuestra propia vivienda."
