PROGRAMA DE IMIGRAÇÃO LEGAL

DESCRIÇÃO DO PROGRAMA

Holy Cross Ministries is dedicated to helping immigrants and their families gain legal status and participate more fully in the community. Recognizing the overwhelming need for low-cost legal services for immigrants in Utah, Sister Kathleen Moroney, J.D., started HCM’s Legal Immigration program in September of 2000. Since then, HCM has served over 27,000 individuals during their journeys to citizenship. HCM also collaborates with numerous community partners to provide affordable legal services, education and advocacy for Utah’s immigrant population.

JANUARY 2021 DACA UPDATE:

Na sexta-feira, 4 de dezembro de 2020, um juiz de Nova York ordenou que o governo federal restaurasse o programa de Ação Diferida para Chegadas na Infância (DACA) ao seu estado original. Os Serviços de Cidadania e Imigração dos EUA (USCIS) restabeleceram a política DACA que estava em vigor em 4 de setembro de 2017 - o programa DACA original.

USCIS is currently accepting Initial DACA applications (including requests for employment authorization), applications to renew DACA (including employment authorization), and Advance Parole applications (permission to return to the U.S. after traveling abroad.)
