News Release from Jewell & Associates, PC On December 5, 2014, USCIS posted on its website a summary of the executive actions on immigration announced by President Obama on November 20, 2014. With respect to each of the major planned initiatives, the USCIS summary sets forth, to the extent currently known:
- Who is eligible
- What the initiative will do
- When an applicant can begin to make a request
- How to make a request
Importantly, the summary cautions: “These initiatives have not yet been implemented, and USCIS is not accepting any requests or applications at this time. Beware of anyone who offers to help you submit an application or a request for any of these actions before they are available. You could become a victim of an immigration scam.
