Affordable Immigration Legal Services
Making a difference in the lives of people from around the globe, assisting them with immigration legal services at a fraction of the cost.
We are dependent on the generous support of others to sustain our low cost legal practice. Your giving is changing lives in Pittsburgh and beyond. Thank you!
Who We Serve
The Christian Immigration Advocacy Center (CIAC, pronounced kai-ak) provides low-cost, high-quality immigration legal services to immigrant and refugee families with limited financial resources.
2023 data shows that over 75,000 Allegheny County residents were born outside the United States. Many face complex immigration challenges that threaten their safety, stability, and future. Yet, in U.S. immigration courts, only 30% of individuals have legal representation, leaving the vast majority to navigate a life-altering legal system alone.
These are the families we serve. At CIAC, we provide access to legal aid, offering trusted advocacy, compassionate care, and a pathway to hope.
What We Do
CIAC welcomes each immigrant and refugee with the love of Christ, honoring their dignity and standing beside them as trusted advocates. We don’t just offer legal representation; we empower individuals with a clear voice, advocating for their rights and guiding them through the complexities of the immigration legal system.
Our services focus on critical needs: Green Cards, Naturalization, Family Reunification, and other essential immigration matters. We are committed to empowering individuals and families, ensuring access to the legal support they deserve.
Who Knew
In 2018, we set an ambitious goal to serve 100 individuals by the end of 2019. What we didn’t anticipate was the overwhelming and growing need for immigration legal services in Pittsburgh and beyond. Without advertising, word about CIAC spread. God revealed to us the true scale of the need, a need we are committed to meeting.
Each year, we’ve increased our capacity to serve more individuals and families, expanding our reach and impact. Thanks to your support, we’re able to help more people with life-changing legal services, providing hope, advocacy, and dignity to those who need it most.

CIAC made our immigration case simple and smooth. Jessica was always prompt in letting us know what we needed to complete as a couple and letting us know each step we were completing during the process.
We were always notified quickly about changes to our case and Jessica was always very responsive. We were never concerned about the process and had full confidence in CIAC.
My husband officially received his green card and we are so thankful for all of their help!
Thank you Jessica and CIAC for all that you do!
I am writing to express my profound gratitude to CIAC law office for your outstanding legal representation and unwavering support in securing my EB-1b green card based on employment.
Your deep knowledge and ability to navigate the immigration process with precision and care greatly contributed to the successful outcome. Jessica, who handles my application, is always available to answer my questions and address any concerns promptly via email, text, and phone.
Your clear and concise communication made it easier for me to understand the various steps and requirements involved in the application process. CIAC provides excellent service with an affordable fee.
Once again, thank you for your exceptional service and for helping me achieve my goal of obtaining a green card through the EB-1b category.
