BIA Accredited

We are happy to announce that as of February 2014, the Berkshire Immigrant Center is accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)! This designation enables Director Brooke Mead, Hilary Greene and staff to provide legal representation and to make direct inquiries to USCIS on behalf of clients. We are grateful to the following law firms for supporting the Center as it works to implement BIA best practices to provide a higher level of service/representation to our clients.
