IMMIGRATION COUNSELING
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Wilmington, provides comprehensive and reliable immigration counseling to assist individuals and families in negotiating immigration and naturalization processes. Catholic Charities is fully recognized by the U.S. government’s Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).

Our immigration staff handles Adjustments of Immigration Status, Consular Processing, Family Reunification and Family-based petitions, Employment Authorizations, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Fiancé Visas, and Citizenship/Naturalization applications. They also offer assistance to victims of human trafficking and immigrant victims of various crimes including domestic violence.

We also assist unaccompanied children, who arrive in Delaware and are placed with family members, in their immigration court hearings.
