Aklan Hosts Seminar On U.S. Immigration Laws

The Province of Aklan through Gov. Carlito S. Marquez and in cooperation with Carpio-Dela Cruz Law Offices of Kalibo, Aklan hosted a half-day seminar on Updates on U.S. Immigration Laws and Other Related Topics on May 20, 2009 at 1:00 – 5:00 in the afternoon at the Gov. Corazon L. Cabagnot Tourism and Training Center, Old Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan.

The resource speaker was a distinguished Los Angeles, California – based Immigration Lawyer, Atty. Abe D. Marapao, Jr. He is also the Managing Partner of Bunagan, Marapao, and Valdez, LLP, a full service law partnership with office at Penthouse One, 340 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.

The seminar aimed to inform Aklanons particularly those having immigration issues related to Non-Immigrant’s Visa, Family, and Employment–based petitions. The U.S. Immig-ration Lawyer outlined the usual U.S. immigration problems and concerns and explained the options available to the U.S. Visa applicants, including the advantages and dis-advantages of each option.

Every Aklan U.S. Visa applicant who is well-informed of his legal options may it be for a family or employment based petition (nurses and other medical pro-fessionals) will easily solve immigration problems, be reunited with their families, and be able to work in the U.S. like the “American Dream”.

The seminar was co-sponsored by Carpio-Dela Cruz Law Offices of Atty. Beato Alessandro C. Dela Cruz, III and retired Judge Arturo Carpio, who is chosen as its law firm’s advocacy to enlighten each Aklanon of their legal rights and options.

That seminar on U.S. Immigration Law Is Not a Recruitment Seminar. Instead, it will greatly help hopeful Aklanons to realize the dream of working and living in the United States of America with their families. /MP
