Asking for a friend of a friend - an Iraqi translator is moving with their family to Dallas. Unfortunately, don't have more details than that, but do you know some immigrant-friendly organizations/services in Dallas that could be useful for them?
Names of congregations/community groups that specifically work with immigrants would also be helpful. Thanks!

Best answer: No One Left Behind is a national organization that specifically works to help Special Immigrant Visa recipients who have assisted the US government in Iraq and Afghanistan and are moving to the US. If this describes the family you're helping, the organization's get help page includes a link to their extensive intake form for their settlement assistance process.
