The World Relief Baltimore Immigrant Services Office advises and represents immigrants and their family members in immigration matters, such as: applying for permanent residence and work permits, petitioning for family members to remain or reunite in the US, and applying for naturalization. These services may also include work authorization, DACA, VAWA, TPS, and U-Status applications. We provide assistance to immigrants or their family members who reside within the state of Maryland, or who have cases with the Immigration Court in Maryland.  World Relief is committed to ensuring that immigrants and their families have the information that they need to be able to understand their legal options.
