"Deferred Action" Details


APPLY NOW FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA'S NEW IMMIGRATION

POLICY: "DEFERRED ACTION"

President Obama's new immigration "law" ... is actually only a “policy.” It coudl change depending on the results of  the November 2012 election. Go to the website at www.immigrationhelpla.com & click on “Helpful Info.”

WHEN TO ACT?

While no formal application is available yet, we know the basic outline of what will be necessary. Begin preparing for Deferred Action now

before there are possible changes. The law office will ensure you are among the first to apply when DHS

formalizes the application process in August.

WHICH BENEFITS WILL I RECEIVE?

You will receive employment authorization, a Social Security number, the right to apply for a drivers license and car insurance and the right

to live in the U.S. without fear of "deportation" for two years and possibly longer. Currently, this is not a path to a green card or citizenship

but this may change in the future, but...

ONE POTENTIAL PATH TO CITIZENSHIP

Because children 18 are not penalized for unlawful presence, if children under 18 years of age receive this deferred action benefit, they will

not have any "unlawful presence" problems. Therefore, if they go to college they can apply for an H-1B visa after graduation for "specialty

occupation" employment. From there, they may be eleigible for a green card and later citizenship. It is not an easy path; but, the lesson here is

that your B.A. will be worth something very important!!!

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Depending on the way the rules are written, most immigration attorneys will charge from $1000-$2000 for the deferred ation application. To

celebrate this new law and to show commitment to the DREAMers a law office will process the first 100 applications under a special "family

and friends" discount for as low as $750-- and they will process the case from the comfort of your own home. While it is not known how much

the government will charge to file, you can be sure that you will only pay this low amount to the lawyers.

Informacion De Nueva Reglas de Inmigracion



APLIQUE YA PARA LA NUEVA LEY DE INMIGRACION DEL PRESIDENTE OBAMA:

“ACCION DIFERIDA”

La nueva ley de inmigracion del presidente Obama...es actualmente solamente una poliza. Eso significa que puede desaparecer rapidamente

especialmente si el Presidente Obama pierde en las elecciones de noviembre 2012. Vaya a la pagina web a
www.immigrationhelpla.com y

oprima el boton version espanol para aplicar o llame a Gianina o Samantha a nuestra oficina al numero 800-792-9889.

CUANDO ACTUAR?
Mientras que no hay una solicitud formal disponible todavia, sabemos el perfil basico de lo que va hacer necesario.

Comienze a preparar ya la Accion Diferida antes que los Republicanos en el Congreso o el nuevo Presidente Republicano la haga volcar.

Nosotros aseguramos que ustedes sera de los primeros de aplicar cuando Inmigracion (DHS) formalize el proceso de solicitud en agosto.

QUE BENEFICIOS VA A RECIBIR?
Usted va a recibir autorizacion de trabajo, un numero del seguro social, el derecho de aplicar por

una licensia de conducir y aseguranza para su carro y el derecho de vivir en los Estados Unidos sin miedo de “deportacion” por dos anos y

quizas mas tiempo.

UN POTENCIAL CAMINO A CIUDADANIA
Porque ninos/jovenes de 18 no son penalizados por presencia ilegal, si ninos/jovenes

menor de 18 anos reciben este beneficio de Accion Diferida, ellos no tendran problemas de “presencia ilegal”. Por lo tanto, si van a la

universidad ellos pueden aplicar para la visa H-1B despues de la graduacion como empleo bajo “ ocupacion especializada”. De ahi, ellos

pueden ser elegibles para residencia permanente y despues ciudadania. No es un camino facil, pero la leccion de esto es que el B.A

(Licenciatura en Letras de la Universidad) sera de mucho valor!!!

CUANTO ES EL COSTO?
Dependiendo de como escriban las reglas, la mayoria de abogados van a cobrar entre $1000-2000 para la

solicitud de accion diferida. Para celebrar la nueva ley y demostrar compromiso a los DREAMers, nuestra oficina procesara las primeras 100

solicitudes bajo un descuento especial “familia y amigos” de una cantidad baja de $750 y el proceso se va hacer en la comidad de su propio

hogar. Como no sabemos cuanto va a cobrar el gobierno para someter, usted tengalo por seguro que usted va a pagar una cantidad muy

baja a nosotros.
