With February being the month when people talk about love and show their affection more openly, the Philippine Forum is taking the opportunity to assess how the United States is showing its love to the millions of immigrants who now call this country their home.
“Post-Valentine Reflection: Does America love immigrants?” is a forum that will examine the complicated relationship between the U.S. government and its immigrants.
The forum, which will be held on February 26, Sunday, at 2 p.m., at the Bayanihan Community Center in Woodside, Queens, will provide an overview of the current immigration situation and recent developments concerning U.S. immigration policy.
The Bayanihan Community Center is located at 40-21 69th Street, Woodside, NY 11377.
The forum will be the first of a series of forum offered by “Café Migrante” a monthly coffee break aimed at helping the immigrant community understand fundamental immigration rules and recent developments that every immigrant in the U.S. must know.
Coffee and light refreshments will be served while supply lasts.
Immigration lawyer Cristina Godinez, who has helped hundreds of immigrants with visa, green card and citizenship applications for nearly10 years, will be the resource speaker for the forum series.
The Café Migrante monthly forum series is initially set for six months, and will run from February to July. All sessions will be held on the last Sunday of the month, at 2 p.m. at the Bayanihan Community Center in Woodside, Queens.
Among the topics lined up are tips on maintaining legal non-immigrant status, spouse and other family-sponsored green cards, work authorization for non-citizens, humanitarian benefits under U.S. immigration law, how to become U.S. citizens, and prospects for legalization of status.
To get to the Bayanihan Community Center, take the 7 Train and get off at 69th St. and Fisk Avenue stop along Roosevelt Avenue.
