GREAT NEWS!! Under a recent Trump era policy, TPS holders were no longer eligible to utilize advanced parole as a legal entry to begin their adjustment of status (TPS to Residency) Today, Biden officials announce a reversal of the policy, once again allowing TPS holders traveling under advanced parole to begin their adjustment of status from within the United States.

For more information on the recent TPS update, tune into on Wednesday for chat with Camila Alvarez, CARECEN-LA Legal Director

Today our Victim Services team met with Sergeant Abdias Charles, the new certifying official for U-visa certifications at City of Atlanta Police Department, Sergeant Renato Anaya, and Hispanic Liaison Officer Miguel Lugo.

We discussed how we can collaborate to ensure that all victims of crime in the City of Atlanta Government are encouraged to seek assistance and report crimes committed against them regardless of their immigration status, which in turn makes our city safer.

We are thankful to Sgt Charles, Sgt Anaya and SPO Lugo for their partnership and look forward to working together!
