Hooray for good news! You may not see this on CNN or Telemundo, but today DHS and USCIS issued two very good policies designed to help immigrant communities and to help make adjudications more efficient. https://klinkeimmigration.com/some-good-news-two-helpful-p/

We've had three amazing meetings so far and have one to go!

We say it over and over again because it's true - words matter! ICE and CBP have to change their tone - Alien will become noncitizen or migrant, illegal will become undocumented, and assimilation will change to integration. http://ow.ly/88pN50EtbiG

I'm so mad about the refugee numbers, but let's focus on some good (as much as a nearly five year wait is good news): U case filed May 2, 2016. Granted Deferred Action April 16, 2021.

Looking forward to talking today with @ossoff, @NikemaWilliams, @RepBourdeaux, and @RepLoudermilk about America as a Welcoming Country. We must improve immigration policy and services. #AILANDA21 http://ow.ly/lp6N50Ev5Bj

Cannot begin to say how beyond disappointing this is. Not just for the refugees blocked from the United States, but because President Biden so clearly lied not just while campaigning but in his Executive Orders, too. https://www.nytimes.com/20//16/us/biden-refugees-cap.html

Happy Administrative Professionals' Day to our Senior Paralegal Alina Luna and Paralegal Mary De Jesus. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and kindness. We are so lucky you share your talents with us!

U visa timing update! I-918 filed: November 23, 2015 Deferred Action Granted/Waitlisted: May 7, 2020 Full U Status Granted: April 2, 2021

What a wonderful and warm welcome to brand new U.S. Citizens! https://twitter.com/i/status/1379075439952601094

There's no foolin' us this April Fool's Day! We celebrated 15 wins last month!

The GAIN Gala in March 2020 was one of the first of many, many COVID cancellations. This year's event is going online on April 1st. I hope you can join us as we celebrate survivors and surviving together! The auction is open, too! www.bidpal.net/GAINgala

Had a great time presenting to amazing attorneys (Georgia Alabama AILA Chapter Members) with amazing attorneys (Sarah Owings, Rob Cohen and Janora Hawkins) on working with various immigration agencies under the new administration at our Chapter Conference today!

Wow...we helped someone find the last piece of her immigration puzzle and after 30 years of being in the US, she is a lawful permanent resident! http://ow.ly/Lz8550E8mx3

If you can, we encourage you to contribute to @theactionnet to help the families forever changed by the Atlanta area spa shootings last week: Make A Gift. Contribute here: https://actionnetwork.org//support-georgias-asian-american&

#VAWA 2021 passed the House of Representatives yesterday and now goes to the Senate for a vote. Did you know that President Biden wrote and sponsored the law back in 1994? https://www.whitehouse.gov//statement-by-president-biden-/

USCIS announced the extension and re-designation of Syria for #TPS. The extension is valid until 09/30/2022.

The House Votes today - please take action! If enacted into law, the American Dream and Promise Act would provide a path to citizenship for several million Dreamers, and DED and TPS holders. The FWMA would offer similar protection to more than 1 million farm workers and their immediate families. You don't have to be an AILA member to show your support for these bills! https://aila.org/takeaction#/97

Two working days into the new year and we've already helped two clients get approved for U.S. citizenship! #itsgoingtobeagreatyear

Our heart breaks for the lives senselessly lost yesterday.

Happy Election Day, Georgia! If you're registered and haven't voted yet - be sure you get out there and get your voice heard! Not sure where to go? https://www.mvp.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do

Something worth celebrating - the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness Program was extended! If you're a citizen of Liberia who has been in the US since at least Nov. 20, 2014, you may qualify for a green card! Contact us for details! 678-713-4255.

Here's to better days ahead in 2021!

Although there's still a few days left in the year, we want to go ahead and celebrate the December successes! This month we celebrate 11 people getting their green cards, 1 person becoming a US citizen, 1 getting granted medical deferred action and 1 person renewing DACA!

It's been a crazy year, but despite it all, there are a lot of things we are thankful for - including YOU! https://klinkeimmigration.com/surviving-2020/
