Organized under the auspices of the Consulate General of the Republic of Haiti in New York, the Forum on issues of immigration, that has taken place on August 4, to the Haitian Center of Brooklyn, was a success.

The Forum brought together three eminent lawyers, including Me Peter Helder Bernard, the new Head of the Consulate General.

Under the watchful eye of a number of participants from the Haitian community, these men of law have dealt with issues affecting the TPS (Temporary Protective Status); domestic violence; the special status granted to young people who face certain situations; the Deportation; the different remedies that would facilitate obtaining the residence (green card) and Asylum policy.

The experts highlighted the need to hire a competent lawyer, if necessary.
