Asylees
We help people seeking asylum understand the process and connect with the legal resources they need.
Immigration and Paperwork Guidance
Understand the forms, the steps, and your options, with someone who has been there.
Hispana offers immigration guidance grounded in real experience, not a law degree. We bring decades of hands-on experience with friends and family immigration applications, from work permits to citizenship. We also help people understand and respond to discrimination, a challenge far too common for immigrants at work, in housing, and in daily life in a new country.
Important: Hispana does not provide legal advice and is not a law firm or notary service. We are not attorneys, notaries, or legal document preparers. When your situation needs legal advice, we help you find a qualified immigration attorney or accredited representative.
Refugees
We connect refugee families with resources for resettlement, community integration, and everyday paperwork.
Undocumented
We provide guidance and referrals for undocumented individuals and families, regardless of status.
Line below the cards: We also help people with work permits, green card renewals, and citizenship, and anyone who has received a letter or notice they do not understand.
How we help
- We explain the process in plain words. We help you understand what a form asks for, what each step means, and what usually comes next.
- We help you get organized. We help you gather your documents, keep copies, and keep track of dates and deadlines.
- We help you read letters and notices. If you receive mail from an immigration office and do not understand it, we sit down with you and go through it.
- We help when you face discrimination. We help you understand what happened, write down the facts, and find the right agency or organization to report it to.
- We connect you with qualified legal help. When your case needs an attorney or an accredited representative, we help you find one.
What to bring and what to expect
Please bring:
- A photo ID, and your passport if you have one.
- Any immigration papers you already have: cards, approvals, and past applications.
- Any letters or notices you have received.
- A list of your questions.
What to expect: We will meet with you in English or Spanish, listen to your situation, and explain your next steps in plain words. We will be honest about what we can help with and when you need an attorney. Our help is free. You pay any government fees, such as USCIS filing fees, directly to the agency. We never promise a result.
A word of caution: In many Latin American countries, a "notario público" is a lawyer. In the United States, a notary public is not a lawyer and cannot give immigration legal advice. Be careful with anyone who promises results or asks for large payments to "fix your papers."
