Immigration Services


In every situation there are two-sides to the story. Here is one side, the Citizens For Immigration Reform (CFIR).

CFIR is a grass-roots organization formed by citizens who are concerned over the impact of illegal immigration on the United States. They are a non-partisan organization who “call for our borders to be secured by quickly providing for more border patrol agents, erecting a fence, employing technology, upgrading the electronic employer verification system and enforcing employer sanctions. For the abolishing of all non-emergency benefits to illegal aliens, particularly bestowing citizenship upon children born of illegals in the U.S.”

From this site you can learn why Americans have opposing views on immigration. The site contains reasons why illegal immigration hurts the USA. As well as the existing legislative bills that aim to restrict the leniency the USA has over illegal immigrants in our country.

If the CFIR is too conservative for you- the Americans For Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) is more news oriented and less opinion based.

Trinity Presbyterian Church created the agency in 2003. It has been “recognized” by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and has certified counselors on staff.

Opening Doors Immigration Services (ODIS) is a non-profit center assisting people in Denton County and surrounding areas. They deal with:

  • Immigration advice
  • Assistance in filing petitions for family
  • Adjustments of status
  • Citizenship applications
  • People who fall under the Violence Against Women Act

They do not handle employer based petitions/renewals or any Temporary Visas: Student Visas or Travel Visas.

You can walk-in for a free consultation Monday evenings 7:00pm-9:00pm and Saturday mornings 9:00am-12:00 noon. Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:00am to 6:00pm are reserved to answer telephone calls and for prearranged appointments which are made by caseworkers.
