Questions
Questions families ask us.
What people ask us most about this service. Ask us anything else: there is no wrong question.
What if I am not safe at home right now?
If you are in danger, call 911. For confidential support at any hour, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788. When you are ready, call us at (712) 212-3242 and ask for the family team: we will make a safety plan with you and talk privately about any immigration options.
Do you share my information with anyone?
Never without your permission. Immigration, family and contact information is stored securely, seen only by the staff working on your case, and never sold or shared with enforcement agencies.
Do you work with children who arrived alone?
Yes. Our family team supports young people who came to the United States without a parent, and the relatives or sponsors caring for them, and works with our legal team on any immigration case.
I am undocumented. Is it safe to contact you?
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.
