DACA
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is an American immigration policy that allows certain undocumented people who entered the country before their 16th birthday and before June 2007 to receive a renewable two-year work permit and exemption from deportation. DACA confers non-immigrant legal status but does not provide a path to citizenship. Give us a call and learn more.
Apply for Family Unity
The Immigration Act of 1990 (IMMACT) provides for relief from deportation, and the granting of employment authorization, to an eligible immigrant who is the spouse or unmarried child of a legalized alien holding temporary or permanent residence.

Testimonials
“SEACM helped us to understand what was needed to allow me to legally and permanently stay in the USA. They helped us get legally married and put us in touch with an immigration attorney in Sacramento who has been very helpful. It has been a long process, over three years now.”
- Kenneth, canada
“I never was allowed to go to school in my native country; my father said we should work. I came to the USA with a green card and I work long days and take care of my family, but there is little opportunity for me to learn enough English to pass the citizenship test. I am so grateful that, instead, I can renew my green card every 10 years with SEACM’s help.”

About Us
Since opening its doors in 1987, Southeast Asian Christian Ministry (SEACM) has provided support in Northern California for immigrants and refugees from around the world. Today this work includes help with green card applications, work permits, citizenship applications, asylum applications, help with status adjustment, and assisting families in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program. SEACM is a place of hope for those in need. All services are provided free of charge.
As immigration laws change and become more confusing and complicated, the people who are served by SEACM are in need of the assistance SEACM offers more than ever. Hundreds of hours have been spent updating records and helping with status adjustment. There has been a significant increase in services being offered to people who are qualified for the DACA program. The SEACM Director is highly respected and trusted by the community we serve. Both SEACM and its director are accredited by the Department of Justice for Immigration Matters which enable us to provide this specialized help.
SEACM is an ally of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). To find out more information on how to be an ally go to: stopaapihate.org.
