Our Story

All Saints Immigration Services became a U.S. Department of Justice Recognized Organization in 2020 enabling our staff to provide low-cost legal representation and advice to our immigrant neighbors in the west Tennessee area. We help immigrant families better understand their individual situations and the immigration benefits for which they may be eligible.

Understanding the vulnerability of immigrants in our community and seeing their need for effective and affordable legal counsel and representation, a few individuals at All Saints Anglican Church in Jackson, Tennessee underwent the lengthy process of becoming Accredited Legal Representatives through the DOJ Recognition & Accreditation (R&A) Program. R&A was enacted in the late 1950’s in order to increase the number of qualified and competent legal representatives available to low-income immigrants to promote the efficient administration of justice. Because of this program, we at ASIS are able to provide low-cost legal representation to immigrants in our community. We are the only nonprofit immigration legal aid organization between Memphis and Nashville.

Immigration law is highly complex, and the U.S. immigration system is equally challenging. Immigrants who have legal representation are five times more likely to obtain legal status than those who are not represented by an immigration attorney. Applying for and obtaining legal status is life-changing for immigrants and their families and sets them on a path toward stability, security, and hope. However, even if an individual is elgible to apply for and obtain a legal adjustment to his or her legal status, it can be financially impossible for them to obtain legal help through a private immigration attorney. ASIS provides low-cost immigration legal advice and representation to those who qualify. We focus on family-based immigration, U Visas, VAWA, and SIJS.

Effective legal representation is important in any case but especially in immigration cases. A small error can make a critical difference leading to devastating consequences for vulnerable immigrants. Immigration law is complex and ever changing, and it is crucial that applicants for immigration benefits be properly and thoroughly screened to ensure they qualify for and are applying for an appropriate legal benefit.

ASIS is honored to serve these often-marginalized members in our community by providing access to affordable and effective immigration legal services.
