Important Legal Immigration Services Update
Replace your green card now!
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a proposal last week which will likely require all legal permanent residents carrying "green cards" (permanent resident cards) without an expiration date to replace their current cards.
Green Cards issued between 1979 and 1989 do not have an expiration date. These cards will become invalid 120 days after the new rule takes effect!
For more information or to apply for a new green card, contact the Legal Services Department at Latinos Progresando at (312) 850-0572.
