Derya Karaca
Accredited representative, citizenship and renewals
Derya isn't a lawyer. She's an accredited representative, authorized by the Department of Justice to prepare and file immigration applications at a recognized nonprofit.
She handles citizenship applications, green card renewals and replacement cards, and the fee waivers that go with them. Anything that needs a court or a lawyer, she passes to Milagros or Wilkin the same day.
She runs the clinic's practice sessions for the civics test and the citizenship interview.
