Before you call

Say what you need help with: the form (for example I-485, I-130, N-400 or a DACA renewal) and any notice you got from USCIS or the court.
Ask whether they take that kind of case, and whether there is a waiting list.
Ask about fees. Ask whether they can waive or reduce them if you cannot pay.
Ask who will work on your case: an attorney or an accredited representative.
Ask whether someone speaks your language, or whether they use an interpreter.
Have your receipt number, A-Number and notices nearby.
Free help often has waiting lists, so contact more than one organization.

Only lawyers and accredited representatives can advise you

In the U.S., a notary public or "notario" is not a lawyer and cannot give immigration legal advice, even though a notario is a lawyer in some other countries. USCIS lists who can: attorneys in good standing with a U.S. state bar, and accredited representatives who work for an organization the Justice Department recognizes.

You can check an attorney on the state bar's website, and an accredited representative on the Justice Department's roster. EOIR also publishes a list of disciplined practitioners.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I get free immigration legal help in Georgia?

18 nonprofits recognized by the U.S. Justice Department to give immigration legal help have 21 offices in Georgia, with the most in Atlanta, Gainesville and Norcross. 5 organizations are on the Justice Department’s list of free help for the Atlanta Immigration Court and Stewart Immigration Court. Recognized organizations serve mainly people with low incomes, and those that charge fees must have a policy for clients who cannot pay.

Are these Georgia organizations free?

Not always. Some recognized organizations charge low fees, and each one that charges must have a written policy for people who cannot pay. Providers on the pro bono list give free help to people in immigration court. Ask about fees when you call.

Can they help with my green card or citizenship application?

Recognized organizations can help with applications to USCIS, such as family-based green cards, DACA renewals and naturalization. The roster does not say which cases each office takes, so ask. Representatives marked “DHS only” on the roster can help with USCIS but cannot represent you in immigration court.

Does MyCheck recommend any of them?

No. Every organization here comes from a public Justice Department list. MyCheck does not rank or vet them, and none pays to be listed.
