Questions families ask us most.

Siouxland Immigration Services Inc. is a nonprofit immigration law office. Our team includes licensed immigration attorneys and representatives accredited by the U.S. Department of Justice, so we can give legal advice and represent you before USCIS.

We take a limited number of removal defense cases each year, chosen by need and capacity. When we cannot take a case we refer you to trusted attorneys and help you prepare for your first hearing.

Screening calls are free. A full legal consultation is $50, and we waive it for any family who cannot pay. Application fees charged by USCIS are separate, and we file fee waivers whenever you qualify.

Anyone living in the Siouxland region of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota, whatever their status, language or ability to pay. Our newcomer services are funded for refugees and humanitarian parolees, and we will always point you to someone who can help if we cannot.

Yes. What you tell us is confidential and protected by attorney client privilege. We do not share your information with immigration enforcement, and we will tell you honestly what options may be open to you.

Our staff and interpreters provide support in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and other languages, including Spanish, Somali, Arabic, Vietnamese, Karen, Swahili, French, Dari, Pashto, Ukrainian, Haitian Creole, Tigrinya and Nuer.
