Citizenship

We urge all who are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship.  The fee remains $725 and fee waivers and reduced fees are available.

Contact your local to learn whether they or others in the community can assist with the application.  For details on how to apply, eligibility, and cost go to USCIS. (https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship).

DACA

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service is now accepting new DACA applications, renewal requests, and advance parole applications. (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-of-deferred-action-for-childhood-arrivals-daca)

Those with DACA issued as of July 28, 2020 and approved for a one-year period should be informed that their current period of deferred action and their employment authorization document (EAD) have been automatically extended from one year to two.

TPS

Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, is a life-saving immigration status that allows foreign nationals from designated countries to remain in the U.S. if during the time they were in the U.S. something catastrophic happened in their country of origin preventing their safe return – for example war, famine, natural disaster, or epidemic. TPS allows people to work legally and be protected from deportation. Deferred Enforced Departure, or DED, like TPS, allows foreign nationals to be protected from deportation and have the opportunity to work. DED is granted through the President’s foreign relations power.

UNITE HERE and other unions are fighting for Green cards and a path to citizenship for qualified TPS and DED holders.
