FREE IMMIGRATION SEMINARS

There is a saying that if you give a man a fish, you have fed him for a day, but if you teach a man how to fish, then you have fed him for a lifetime.
 
We have always believed in this saying. That is why for the past so many years, it has been the policy and mission of our law office to educate our clients and the immigrant community in general about their rights and privileges, as well as duties and responsibilities under current immigration laws, rules, and regulations.
 
We believe that education is the key that will enable an individual to ultimately achieve his immigration goals and objectives in the United States. Education will enable such individual to make intelligent decisions about his immigration case and encourage him to play a more active and positive role in said case.
 
We have been educating the public for many years now by conducting free immigration seminars. We invite everyone to come and attend our next free immigration seminars. There will be two sessions: (1) our Free Family-Based Immigration Seminar from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and (2) our Free Employment-Based Immigration Seminar from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. You could attend one or both sessions.

The immigration seminars that we hold are not only free; we also tell the attendees from the very beginning that they have no legal or moral obligation to retain our services afterwards. We do these seminars as part of our commitment to give something back to the immigrant community that has generously supported us through the years.
 
Due to limited seats and the large number of people who wish to attend our seminars, we require interested individuals or parties to register in advance. We will give priority to first-time attendees. There is a $50.00 fee for individuals who have previously attended our seminars. Walk-ins will not be allowed to attend the seminars unless there are available seats.
