Oklahoma has no in-state immigration court; removal cases for Oklahoma residents are assigned to the Dallas, TX immigration court. Catholic Charities of Eastern Oklahoma is recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The U.S. Department of Justice (EOIR) publishes a List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers for that court. None of the organizations on this page pay us — these are public-interest referrals, not sponsored links.

⚠️ Important: Avoid fraudulent “notarios”

AVOID PEOPLE CALLING THEMSELVES “NOTARIO PÚBLICO” FOR IMMIGRATION if not attorneys or BIA-accredited reps. US notary publics are NOT attorneys (unlike Latin America). People without legal credentials practicing immigration are violating federal law.
