What does an Accredited Immigration Representative (DOJ) do?

A DOJ accredited representative works for a nonprofit organization recognized by the Department of Justice (EOIR) and is authorized to give immigration legal services: preparing USCIS forms, family petitions, green card, DACA and naturalization (citizenship) applications, and, with full accreditation, representing clients in immigration court. They are often a lower-cost alternative to an immigration attorney.
