Dear Colleagues,

As you know, in June 2012 the Department of Homeland Security announced that it was developing a new process by which certain immigrant youth could request "Deferred Action" on their immigration cases.

Individuals who obtain Deferred Action are eligible to apply for a 2-year renewable work permit.

We wanted to make sure you were aware of upcoming FREE public information sessions about the new Deferred Action policy. 

See below for details. Please spread the word!

Protect Yourself! Don't Be a Victim of Immigration Fraud

Immigrant youth and families should be aware that some fraudulent and unlicensed practitioners claim to be qualified to practice immigration law.

However, these "immigration helpers" or notarios are not licensed or qualified attorneys, and may charge high fees for services they are not legally able to provide.

Visit StopNotarioFraud.org to learn more.
