New York Agencies Gear Up to Meet Demands of New Immigration Policy
By WINNIE HU NOV. 28, 2014

President Obama’s sweeping executive actions on immigration present daunting logistical challenges across the nation, but especially in New York, which Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has called “the gateway for immigrants worldwide.”

The changes come amid growing recognition that the state’s large and diverse population of illegal immigrants cannot be reached with a one-size-fits-all approach. Some government officials and advocates see the executive actions as the biggest test yet for an extensive network of immigrant-focused resources and services that has emerged in recent years and that could serve as a model for other states.

Register to Attend Public Information Meetings on the President’s Executive Action on Immigration

 

The President announced his plan for executive action to provide administrative relief to certain individuals without immigration status currently in the United States on November 20, 2014. Initial details indicate that his plan will help long term undocumented parents of children who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents by giving them authorization to work legally and protecting them from deportation.

Our immigration staff will be providing all of the currently available details about the program at the following public information meetings next week as follows:

Monday, December 1st at 6:00pm at St. Barnabas High School Auditorium (H.S. Chapel), Entrance is located on corner of E. 241st Street and McLean Avenue, Woodlawn

Tuesday, December 2nd at 6:00pm at the Sunnyside Community Center, 4331 39th St, Sunnyside, NY, 11104

Wednesday, December 3rd at 6:00pm at the St Sebastian’s Parish Center, 39-60 57th St, Woodside, NY, 11377 (hosted by our Spanish bilingual attorney Kelly Becker-Smith)
