U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services citizenship information 
SC Stay Plus rental and utility assistance program
http://scvisitation.com/: free online forms and instructions with video introductions to assist non-custodial parents to request visitation rights through the South Carolina courts even when they cannot afford an attorney. The forms, developed by collaboration of the South Carolina Department of Social Services, South Carolina Legal Services, South Carolina Bar Foundation, South Carolina Court Administration, South Carolina Access to Justice Commission, and South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families, were approved by the Supreme Court of South Carolina for use in Family Court by people representing themselves.
