The City University of New York (CUNY) is running a US immigration hotline throughout the week, Monday through Friday.
An annual project called Citizenship NOW! Citizenship Now is in its 14th year, in collaboration with the New York Daily News.
Over 400 volunteers take free calls from 10 in the morning to 8 in the evening and answer all your questions about immigration and obtaining US citizenship.
In addition, if necessary, they are ready to send callers to certain organizations at their place of residence, who are ready to provide assistance free of charge or at a discount at a low price.
“It’s a wonderful feeling, I can’t even describe it,” says 25-year-old Dominican immigrant Pedro Ribota, who called the CUNY hotline last year and will be able to vote in the US presidential election in November 2016.
“We believe that this year the total number of applicants [to the hotline] who want to become US citizens will be significantly higher,” says Professor Alan Wernick, who directs the Immigration Law Program at the City University of New York. .
Many, according to Wernicke, were touched by anti-immigrant rhetoric from the mouth of some US presidential candidates, mostly Donald Trump, and are now seeking to protect themselves from the possible tightening of migration policies in the future.
It is reported that immigrants permanently residing in the United States with permanent resident status can still obtain citizenship before the presidential election, but to do this they must act quickly enough to submit their application by the end of May.
Since 2004, the project has helped more than 140 to thousands of people. Communication takes place in different languages, including Russian. Telephone Number: (212) 278-2390.
