About this organization
ISS is representative of smaller community-based organizations that combine after-school or literacy programming with benefits navigation. Because immigration rules change frequently, readers should rely on Board of Immigration Appeals–accredited representatives or licensed attorneys for case-specific advice rather than on any directory narrative.
We summarize publicly advertised mission and service themes only.
