There is no application available yet. Only select groups of immigrants will be eligible for relief. It is critical that those who believe they may be eligible for relief consult with a reputable legal organization such as The Resurrection Project or the National Immigrant Justice Center or a private immigration attorney before submitting anything to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), or any other federal agency. People must be on high alert because “notarios” and other bad actors will take advantage of the new developments to personally profit.

In Jan. 20 of this year, an incident occurred in Camps Springs, Maryland at a world famous fast-food restaurant chain location that sells billions of hamburgers. For legal reasons, I cannot use their name or logo but the owners want so much for the community to know how much they appreciate the random act of kindness and bravery performed by an anonymous homeless man that day. The employees were familiar with him, but no one knew his real name or story. They just knew that he was a shy, quiet, and big guy who kept to himself and had developed a sort of special friendship with one of the female managers on the evening shift. He would actually talk to her and practically no one else unless he was ordering.
