Sesión informativa y evaluación legal de inmigración para ayudar a inmigrantes víctimas de crímenes

Posted March 8, 2018 at 6:28 am
El lunes 12 de marzo, Ceiba y los Servicios Legales de Inmigración de Esperanza (EILS) organizarán una sesión informativa y clínica de evaluación legal para ayudar a los inmigrantes que son víctimas de crímenes graves y que pudieran ser elegibles para un remedio migratorio bajo VAWA (Acta de la Violencia Contra las Mujeres) o el programa de Visa-U que proveen alivio a los inmigrantes que han sufrido abuso mental o físico y que colaboran con la policía en la investigación y enjuiciamiento de estos crímenes, que incluyen pero no están limitados a:
  • Violencia doméstica
  • Asalto sexual
  • Asalto agravado
  • Tráfico de personas
  • Chantaje o extorsión
  • Después de la sesión, Ceiba y EILS proveerán evaluaciones legales completas de inmigración.
El evento tomará lugar en Esperanza College, ubicado en el 4261 N 5th St., Philadelphia, PA 19140.
“Muchas personas no están familiarizadas con VAWA y la Visa-U, así que queremos aprovechar esta oportunidad para informar a la comunidad inmigrante sobre los requerimientos de elegibilidad y el proceso de aplicación”, expresó Alexis Duecker, Directora Ejecutiva de EILS. Abogados de Inmigración, representantes acreditados y voluntarios capacitados e informados en trauma estarán presentes para contestar preguntas y hacer evaluaciones completas.
“Aun quienes no sean elegibles para VAWA o la Visa-U deberían asistir al evento, ya que después de la sesión informativa se ofrecerán evaluaciones legales gratuitas de inmigración para determinar la elegibilidad para cualquier tipo de remedio migratorio”, dijo Taylor De La Pena, Coordinadora de Programas de Ceiba.
La sesión también proveerá información sobre ayuda financiera para cubrir las tarifas de aplicación para alivios migratorios.
