How does this list decide who helps in Spanish?

We only list a service here when its own website says it offers help in Spanish, such as a Spanish phone option, a Spanish site or Spanish-speaking staff. A translate button alone does not count. If you know a Lubbock office with Spanish-speaking staff that we missed, tell us and we will check it.

Where can I get help with immigration paperwork in Lubbock?

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Lubbock helps with citizenship, green card replacement, work permits, family petitions and VAWA cases. Its site says its case managers are representatives certified by the U.S. Department of Justice, not attorneys. Walk-ins are Mondays only; other days are by appointment at 806-765-8475.
