Berkshire Immigrant Center Announces “Walk-in Wednesdays”03:14PM / Wednesday, May 27, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Due to an increasing demand for services, the Berkshire Immigrant Center has begun to offer walk-in hours to enable those seeking immigration advice or services to avoid waiting weeks for an appointment. Beginning Wednesday, June 3rd “Walk-in Wednesdays” will take place weekly from 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, 88 South Street, Pittsfield, MA.
Participants are invited to sign up for appointments on a first-come first-served basis any time between 10:00 a.m and 12:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Experienced immigration counselors will provide half hour consultations and case assessments for such benefits as U.S. citizenship, family relative petitions, adjustment of status applications, green card renewals, and non-immigrant visas.
Follow up appointments and/or referrals with the Center or an immigration attorney will be arranged as needed. A $10.00 consultation fee is requested, but no one will be refused service for inability to pay. Immigration counselors speak both Russian and Spanish languages.
The Berkshire Immigrant Center, a program of Berkshire Community Action Council, provides citizenship assistance, immigration information, advocacy, referrals and counseling to the growing immigrant communities in Berkshire County. For more information about the Berkshire Immigrant Center or Walk-in Wednesdays, please call (413) 445-4881 or email info@berkshireic.com. |
