A community partner of the Dumas Wesley Community Center, Gulf States Immigration Services provides assistance to families and individuals working their way through the complexities of the process of immigrating to or staying in the United States.

The goal of our service is to help families remain intact by ensuring that each individual entitled to immigration benefits can access those opportunities.

We also assist battered and abused spouses who are dealing with immigration issues. This service usually involves developing a petition for protection under the Violence Against Women Act which, when approved, allows such spouses to self-petition for the right to permanently stay in the United States.

Fees for services are means-tested and range from nothing to a nominal amount.

For more information or for an appointment please call Perry Noble at 251.455.6328 or Maria Colon at 251.391.6012 or visit their website at www.gulfstatesvisas.org.
