Immigration Legal Services
Free consultations in English and Spanish.
Amigos de Guadalupe offers FREE consultations (in English and Spanish) with our immigration attorneys, as well as FREE Citizenship classes
As the only nonprofit in Mayfair with its own Immigration Attorney,
we provide several services to the Mayfair Community.
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. In less than five months, I 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 era elegible para solicitar la residencia permanente. Con su apoyo, reuní mis documentos, completé los formularios y presenté mi solicitud. En menos de cinco meses, recibí mi tarjeta de residencia permanente. Ese momento me trajo tanta paz y una sensación de seguridad que había estado esperando desde que llegué aquí. A cualquiera que esté pasando por su propio proceso de inmigración, quiero decirle: No se rinda. Siga luchando por su caso. Es posible alcanzar esta meta, tal como lo hice yo."
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."

ESL/Citizenship Classes
Amigos de Guadalupe prepares participants to take both the oral and written examinations for U.S. Citizenship. Classes typically range from 6-10 students allowing for more individualized instruction. Students follow an interactive curriculum with exercises to support them in American History, Geography and Civics prior to their exam and interview.
Additionally, Amigos offers ESL classes to our community in order to support families in pursuing job opportunities, communicating with others in the community, in school, etc. Our ESL teacher will cater the interactive curriculum to the different styles of learning in the class to ensure an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all participants.
We currently offer Citizenship Classes Mondays and Wednesdays from 6pm-7pm. Beginning October 2022, we are resuming ESL Classes on Mondays and Wednesdays right after our Citizenship Class, from 7:30pm-8:30pm! There is no need to register, just stop by our office and join the classes!
