At the Center for New North Carolinians Immigration Services program, our mission is to empower and uplift immigrant communities by providing accessible, affordable immigration services. We are dedicated to ensuring that people, regardless of their financial situation, receive the support they need to navigate the complexities of the immigration system with dignity and respect.

The CNNC provides free legal assistance with the naturalization application including fee waivers and, if qualified, Medical Certifications for Disabilities Exceptions.

Citizenship Classes

Our partner, the New Arrivals Institute, offers ongoing citizenship classes to help you prepare for naturalization. In these classes, you will learn all 100 civics questions, practice and improve your English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, learn the steps to US citizenship, and practice for your naturalization interview. Classes are available during the day or evening both online or in-person at New Arrivals Institute, 2714 West Market St., Greensboro,

For more information about the citizenship classes and to sign-up, please contact Juliet Biemiller at [email protected] or send a WhatsApp message or call 336.525.5340.

DACA Renewal

For a small fee, we offer assistance with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) renewal. USCIS strongly encourages you to file your renewal request within the recommended 120- to 150-day filing period to minimize the possibility that your current period of DACA will expire before you receive a decision on your renewal request.

When/if USCIS begins processing new DACA applications again, we will also offer assistance with initial applications.

DACA Advanced Parole

DACA holders may travel outside of the United States, with permission from USCIS, for the following purposes:

  • Humanitarian purposes, including travel to obtain medical treatment, attend funeral services for a family member, or visit an ailing relative;
  • Educational purposes, such as semester abroad programs and academic research; or
  • Employment purposes, such as overseas assignments, interviews, conferences or training, or meetings with clients overseas.

In order to receive permission to travel for one of these purposes, you must apply for Advanced Parole. Our office can provide assistance in applying for DACA Advanced Parole.
