Welcoming and loving our newest neighbors.
Our mission is to love and serve our immigrant neighbors by providing affordable immigration legal services and, together, opening the door to full community engagement.
Open Door Immigration Services (ODIS) was established in 2015 by a community of immigrants at Highrock North Shore Church in Beverly MA (now named Anchor Bay Church), who themselves had experienced the complex and grueling process of achieving legal status. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. We received accreditation by the Department of Justice to offer immigration legal services in 2017.
ODIS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, gender or gender identity, familial status, disability, ancestry, age, marital status, public assistance status, sexual orientation, veteran history/military status or genetic information.
An uncertain world you can make more certain
ODIS’ Annual Campaign is now underway with a goal of raising $25,000. Your generous donation is needed now more than ever to help others like Jessica.
Jessica traveled alone to the United States when she was 17 years old. She left India and her family behind in search of education and better opportunities. She faced a huge culture shock and homesickness. While attending college, she fell in love with her husband. After completing her undergraduate degree, she has gone on to get her Masters in Social Work and Counseling. Today, she works as a counselor serving the community.
Your generous support made it possible for ODIS to help Jessica get her permanent resident status and to complete her Masters, be employed, and to create a new home with her husband.
Jessica’s success story is your success story when you donate to ODIS.
