Recognizing the extreme hardships caused by the recent earthquake and aftershocks in Haiti, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Department of State have made significant policy announcements that will impact Haitian nationals currently in the U.S., U.S. Permanent Residents stranded in Haiti, and Haitian orphans who are in the process of being adopted by U.S. citizens. The panel of speakers will detail those policies and procedures to ensure you are in the best position possible to assist those in need of immigration advice as a result of the ongoing tragedies in Haiti. They will also address the emerging issues regarding infrastructure rebuilding.
