ChesMRC is open to the public Monday thru Friday. Provides information, referrals, and direct services for key issues affecting immigrants such as Health, Legal, Labor, Social Service, Education, Safety, and Housing.

The ChesMRC is now a Department of Justice (DOJ) Recognized Organization, which signifies we can legally represent clients in cases with the Department of Homeland Security particularly with US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) without the need of an attorney.
