Compliments of the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force Immigrant Assistance Services in New York Being an immigrant can be an overwhelming experience on its own. Language barriers and getting settled in a new environment along with having all legal matters in order is hectic and stressful. To assist in the process of integration and making New York State your new home, this brochure lists various national, State, and regional resources for new immigrants living in our state. Each listed resource offers an array of different services: naturalization/citlzenship, green card renewal/replacements, consular process- ing, legal employment matters, deportation/removal defense, other legal services and English language classes. Immigrant integration one of the focuses of my office. It is my hope that the resources listed here will make the transition of moving to and living in the United States a smoother experience for immigrants in New York.
