Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee established the Legal Services for Immigrants program (LSI) in 1999. The LSI program is dedicated to two objectives: providing high-quality immigration legal services to those in need, and disseminating accurate information about immigration issues throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Three staff attorneys, two paralegals, and numerous volunteers and interns provide a full range of family-based and humanitarian immigration legal services. In keeping with the Catholic Charities mission, we place particular emphasis on serving the most vulnerable immigrants: victims of domestic violence and other crimes; abandoned and abused children; and families with one or more members in removal proceedings. We represent clients in the ten counties of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee: Dodge, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, and Walworth. Although we dedicate most of our resources to serving clients, we are also committed to serving the broader community through educational presentations. Each year our attorneys give numerous speeches and workshops to diverse audiences of immigrants, legal professionals, and Catholic clergy. If you are interested in learning more about our work, please message this page or call our main line at (414) 643 8570 x. 4418. We use our page to publish our newsletters, share links to helpful resources, and update you about immigration laws and policies. Have a request or suggestion for this page? Let us know! If you are interested in immigration law & policy, or involved with the immigrant community of southeastern Wisconsin, please Like and Share our page.
Mission: Mission Statement Inspired by Christ's call to serve, our mission is to provide service to those in need, to advocate for justice and to call upon others to do the same. Vision Statement Our vision is to improve the lives of those we serve, to empower the most vulnerable, and to help reduce poverty through quality, compassionate, and effective human services.

Supreme Court of the United States Decision on DACA: bit.ly/2Nbnjpu
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against the Trump administration’s attempt to rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.
There are now calls for DHS and USCIS to immediately re-open and fully restore the 2012 DACA program. Additional details about the status of the program should be forthcoming from the agencies. Until more detailed instruction is provided, it is recommended that applicants who have NOT been granted DACA in the past WAIT to file new DACA applications; requests for an Advance Parole travel document also should not be submitted at this time.
In the meantime, current DACA recipients who are seeking renewal are able to apply immediately and encouraged to do so.
