IASC COVID-19 Response Updates
New Hours:
IASC is open on a limited basis at this time. While we are NOT seeing clients in the office--please don't stop by at this time--we are returning phone calls and setting up video and telephone conferences. Please call (860) 629-7758 and leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience during this difficult time.
Unemployment Benefits:
In light of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting millions of workers (at least temporarily) losing their jobs, our office has been flooded with calls and emails about whether claiming unemployment insurance will give rise to inadmissibility under the Public Charge rule. The short answer is that claiming state-based unemployment insurance benefit, if one is eligible for it, does not normally constitute a public charge for immigration purposes. If you are eligible for unemployment you should access unemployment and it will not harm future immigration chances.
IASC COVID-19/Coronavirus Información Importante
Nuevas Horas:
IASC está abierto de forma limitada en este momento. Si bien NO estamos viendo clientes en la oficina, por esta razón le pedimos por favor no nos visite en este momento, estamos respondiendo llamadas telefónicas y organizando videoconferencias con consultas. Por favor Llámenos (860) 629-7758 y deje un mensaje y nos pondremos en contacto con usted lo antes posible. Agradecemos su paciencia durante este momento difícil.
Beneficios de desempleado:
A la luz de la pandemia de Coronavirus / Covid-19 y los millones de trabajadores resultantes (al menos temporalmente) que pierden sus trabajos, nuestra oficina ha sido inundada con llamadas y correos electrónicos sobre si reclamar un seguro de desempleo dará lugar a la inadmisibilidad bajo la regla de Cargo Público. La respuesta corta es que reclamar un beneficio de seguro de desempleo basado en el estado, si uno es elegible para él, normalmente NO constituye una carga pública para fines de inmigración. Si es elegible para el desempleo, debe acceder al desempleo y no dañará las futuras oportunidades de inmigración.
