Immigration Assistance Forum

By QNS Editorial Posted on October 30, 2014

City Council Member Elizabeth Crowley hosted her first ever immigration info session on Sunday, Oct. 19 on Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven. Held in collaboration with Rep. Nydia Velázquez, CUNY Citizenship NOW! and the Association of Mutual Help Unity and Solidarity Inc. (AAMUS), last Sunday night’s event provided an opportunity for Woodhaven residents to connect with a Spanish speaking immigration attorney to answer questions and help with the citizenship and residency process. “I’m proud to do my part to help expand free legal services to our hardworking immigrant communities in Queens,” said Crowley. “New York City was built on the contributions of immigrants–much like my grandparents–and we need to provide those same opportunities to those seeking a better life today. Strong immigrant communities are crucial to our city’s growth and economic prosperity. I want to thank Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez and CUNY for their partnership and commitment to uplifting a new generation of New Yorkers.” Crowley is also now offering appointments with a CUNY immigration attorney, who speaks Polish, at her Glendale office twice a month.
