Beginning February 24, 2020, the federal government will begin implementing this new policy. Individuals will be required to disclose their application for or use of certain benefits as part of their immigration application. An immigration attorney can advise what public benefits must be disclosed as part of the processing.
Our offices are open: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
