Ceiba and EILS Organize FREE Immigration Legal Screening + Immigrant Rights and Tax Reform Workshops

On Wednesday, September 19, 2018, at 5 PM, Ceiba and Esperanza Immigration Legal Services (EILS) will organize a FREE immigration legal screening clinic and workshops on immigrant rights and tax reform.
At the session, EILS and Ceiba will provide information about:
• The Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
• How recent changes in tax law will affect ITIN holders
• Immigrants’ rights if stopped by ICE
After the workshops, EILS, Ceiba, and a team of trained volunteers will perform comprehensive immigration legal screenings for all types of immigration relief, including asylum, family petitions, U-Visas, and VAWA.
The event will take place at Ceiba, located at 174 Diamond St., Philadelphia PA 19122.
“In the wake of ‘Trump’s Tax Reform,’ there is a lot of confusion in the immigrant community regarding the upcoming tax filing season. At the session, we will inform taxpayers of tax changes that could affect them in 2019,” expressed Taylor De La Pena, Ceiba Program Coordinator.
“Unauthorized immigrants should get screened for possible immigration remedies as soon as possible, as applying for legal status and eventual citizenship is the only permanent protection from deportation,” said Alexis Duecker, Executive Director of Esperanza Immigration Legal Services.
