	Mission Building on its Charter mandate, the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs promotes the well-being of immigrant communities by recommending policies and programs that facilitate successful integration of immigrant New Yorkers into the civic, economic, and cultural life of the City.

	If you're an immigrant to New York City, we can help you: identify which City services you can access; find a community-based organization that can address your needs and with a staff person who speaks your language; and get information about your pending applications from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly the INS).

	If you're a community-based organization serving immigrants, we can help you: find the appropriate City agency to assist you with referrals or resources; arrange a conversation with appropriate City officials to address a concern in your community or to help craft a strategy; and identify the languages spoken by staff at various City agencies.

	If you're a New York City government agency, we can help you: discuss best policies and practices for reaching immigrant communities; identify community-based organizations serving specific immigrant communities; and assist you in accessing translators and interpreters through, or with enrolling your staff in, the volunteer language bank.
