Preparate para la Reforma Migratoria

Cesar Gomez da nuevo seminario sobre los cambios que vienen en la ley de inmigración.

Cesar Gomez Habla sobre la Reforma Migratoria

El senado paso reforma migratoria, todavía un proyecto de ley, el 27 de junio.  Significa un paso más en el proceso de apruebo de una gran reforma que, entre otras metas, crearía un camino hacía la legalización para las personas indocumentadas en este pais.

Una vez aprobada, mucha gente va a querer aplicar para la legalización.  Esto crearía filas y retrasos nunca vistos en el tramite de aplicaciones.  Por esta razón, los abogados de Jaensch Immigration Law Firm quieren que la comunidad este preparada lo antes posible para las oportunidades que esta reforma pueda crear.

Por eso se ha organizado una serie de seminarios que se están dando en los condados de Sarasota, Manatee y DeSoto entre companías, organizaciones sin fines de lucro, e iglesias.  El último seminario, de que se ve la foto arriba, se dio en las oficinas de Suncoast Community Capital en Bradenton.  Cesar Gomez, anterior director de la cámara de comercio hispana del golfo y abogado en Colombia, hablo de los posibles cambios en la ley de inmigración, como prepararse para ellos, y como empezar a ahorrar dinero para las multas e impuestos que uno tendra que pagar para legalizarse.

Los seminarios se dan con la participación de TVNet Group que incluye los periódicos “La Guia,” “7Dias,” y “Buen Vivir.”  Luis Baron, fundador de TVNet Group, ha puesto anuncios y artículos sobre estos seminarios en sus periódicos y le agradezemos su ayuda.

Jaensch Immigration Law Firm Prepares for Immigration Reform

Sarasota Immigration Attorneys Preparing for Increased Demand

Immigration Reform passed the Senate on Thursday, June 27 by a vote of 68-32.  It still has to go through committee and floor debate in the House of Representatives, reconciliation, and signing.  Nevertheless, Jaensch Immigration Law Firm is already preparing in case the bill becomes law.

Last year the firm established a Latin American Division, managed by Cesar Gomez, former director of the Gulf Coast Latin Chamber of Commerce, to expand ties and establish strategic partnerships with the local Latin American community.  What’s more, over the last 6 months the firm has doubled its office space and increased staff by 20% with further increases planned.

“Comprehensive Immigration Reform could change almost every aspect of the immigration system.  It would create many new opportunities, not only for undocumented immigrants, but for investors, students, and workers as well,” says P. Christopher Jaensch, managing attorney of Jaensch Immigration Law Firm.  “Such a sweeping change would create new demand for our services and we want to be ready to handle that,” he adds.

The firm began disseminating information about the bill the moment it appeared.  They created a new website that collects and displays the latest immigration reform news.  They embarked on an informational campaign using emails, social media, and news articles.  The campaign educates the Sarasota-Bradenton area about the possibilities that immigration reform would bring.

Members of the firm traveled to Washington in April before the bill had entered the Senate.  Victoria Jaensch Karins brought letters from Sarasota area employers and individual immigrants demonstrating the need for immigration reform.  Soon after the Gang of Eight unveiled the legislation and submitted it to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The firm is conducting bi-lingual seminars in Manatee and Sarasota Counties, as well as Arcadia, to explain the provisions of the bill.  They also created a fingerprint data collection center where individuals interested in obtaining information about their own criminal and immigration detention history can have their fingerprints taken and sent to the FBI for a records search. 

“It will be especially important for those who may wish to apply for legalization to demonstrate the absence of a criminal record,” says Mr. Jaensch, “and for that they need to have their fingerprints taken.”  He adds that in the past, “this could only be done through the local jail or police office.”

Mr. Gomez was a business law attorney in Bogota, Colombia, before emigrating to the U.S.  He is a prominent member of the local Latin community having served as executive director of the Gulf Coast Latin Chamber of Commerce from 2007 to 2010.  Mr. Gomez was recognized as one of the 25 “Most Influential People in Manatee County” in 2010.

He will also work as a law clerk having received his Master of Laws degree (LL.M.) in International Law in 2011 from Stetson University.  He is a former member of the Foreign Service committee of Tampa Bay and a current member of the University of South Florida Leadership Board.

Mr. Gomez will function as a liaison between the Florida Latin community and law firms, businesses, and organizations in Latin America, steering Latin American investors to the Sarasota area.  He will also help the law firm to offer immigration services such as investor visas, employment authorizations, and immigrant visas known as Green Cards.

“Cesar will be a great asset to the law firm in developing and servicing the Latin market,” says Peter Jaensch, founder of Jaensch Immigration Law Firm. 

“I look forward to offering the law firm’s services to the approximately 80,000 Latino individuals and businesses in the area.  My goal is to help bring Latin investors and entrepreneurs to the Gulf Coast and for the law firm to assist them in obtaining the proper visas to invest, live and work in the U.S.,” says Mr. Gomez.

“Getting a visa and becoming legal is not only a difficult challenge but also a frightening experience that many try to avoid,” says Peter Jaensch. “We have made it possible, with the least amount of trauma, to help foreigners settle in the U.S.,” he added.
