RRRS Immigration Services
Our Mission
RRRS serves New Americans coming from a vast array of backgrounds, each requiring unique paths to safety and stability. The U.S. legal immigration systems can be quite daunting for refugees, unfamiliar with the intricacies of the system and the English language. At RRRS, it is our goal to assure that each individual feels heard and supported. We currently provide guidance on a walk-in basis, doing our best to help them navigate the complex legal systems.
We provide assistance with:
- Naturalization Application
- Green Card Applications
- Work Permit Application
- Travel Document Application
- Affirmative Asylum Applications
- Temporary Protective Status Applications
Impact
Our services assist our nation in upholding our role as protectors of human rights. By providing guidance through these processes, it alleviates systemic strain and ensures the legal and orderly immigration processes are taken.
The work conducted helps to reunite families, protect refugees from employment exploitation, and open new opportunities. Overall, refugee access to support and guidance through these processes are essential to promote their safety, stability, and economic self sufficiency.
