On Saturday, June 19, 2010, residents of the New York City area will be able to attend a free immigration clinic to assist the victims of immigration fraud. Unfortunately, many non-attorney individuals and agencies in New York City swindle innocent victims by claiming that they can get them immigration benefits. These unscrupulous individuals and agencies often purport to offer legal advice at reduced costs to what an immigration attorney would cost. Unfortunately, these individuals and agencies often only take a victim’s money and disappear (or hide behind lies).
The free clinic is open to any victims of immigration fraud. It will run from 11 am to 4 pm at the CUNY Graduate Center, Proshansky Auditorium, Concourse Level C, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10016.
