"Bienvenida" means "Welcome" in
Spanish. The Bienvenida Program
will work with the populations
at either end of
the immigrant experience:
newly arrived immigrants and
established immigrants who
have obtained permanent
resident
status.
In the case
of new immigrants, the Bienvenida
staff will provide resources
and assistance to prevent
loss of immigration
status, or to
facilitate the process of
status adjustment.
In the case
of legal permanent residents,
Bienvenida will provide
civics and language education
to obtain the necessary
knowladge base
for the successful completion
of the U.S. citizenship
test.
The initial
phase of Bienvenida was
launched in May 2006 thanks
to a seed grant from Princeton
Area Community
Foundation.
Bienvenida currently
provides:
. Support of
eligible immigrants through
the naturalization process;
. Referrals
to qualified, reputable
agencies and legal professionals
on immigration and other
matters;
. Translation
of documents, and assistance
with the completion of routine
forms, applications, financial
and
commercial processes;
. Escorting,
interpreting and advocating
for clients in complying
with civic duties, claiming
services, obtaining
medical treatment, or seeking
redress as victims;
. Help
getting due process and
avoiding recidivism;
. Advocating
and mediating vis-à-vis
businesses, landlords and
employers
. Mentoring
and guiding students seeking
to pursue post-secondary
education..
To
increase the availability
of affordable legal services
to low-income Latino immigrants
families in
Mercer
County, LALDEF plans
to hire and train staff,
who will be accredited with
the Bureau of Immigration
Appeals
and will work under
the supervision of an attorney.
This component is not expected
to be in operation until
2008.
