The International Institute of the Bay Area (IIBA) welcomes, educates, and serves immigrants, refugees, and their families as they join and contribute to the community. With its six offices throughout the Bay Area that provide legal immigration and other services, and through its collaborative efforts with local and regional service providers, IIBA effectively serves immigrants and their families. We offer immigrants the information and assistance they need to understand and exercise their rights and responsibilities. Because of IIBA’s services, more immigrant families obtain stable immigration status in the United States.
