This Sunday, 05/15/2022: “Immigration Law and Resettlement Programs.” Immigration law is a huge and complex topic. This week we will take on a sliver of that. Rebecca Bryant, UUFF Member and DOJ-certified Immigration Specialist, will review immigration law as it relates to refugees, asylees, and the like. She will cover the Afghan resettlement program and related immigration issues in detail. She will also describe Ukranian resettlement and immigration issues.
Please note that we will offer a remote Zoom participation option for this session, in addition to in-person attendance. This is a new link. To join us via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83113550560
UNITING FOR UKRAINE is a new program where individuals in the US can help Ukranians who want to come to the US either permanently or temporarily: https://www.dhs.gov/ukraine
If you have an extra room in your home and would like to sponsor a Ukranian woman with a child or two, UUFF Member Rebecca Bryant is a refugee resettlement specialist and would be delighted to help with the initial paperwork and later resettlement should you get approval. The criteria for helping in this effort is that you have the physical space to house a small family or the financial resources to pay for a rental, until one of the refugee family members can get a job (yes, they will be eligible to work). If you have questions, email Rebecca at rbryant@dolr.org
The ARE discussion is held weekly before Sunday service. It is a facilitated conversation where lively conversation and sharing of personal experience is encouraged. Each week the topic changes and is advertised in our weekly email to congregants.
There is no need to sign up, just join the us at UUFF in the common room downstairs 10am each Sunday morning. Sadly, we are unable to offer a zoom option for participating at this time. Masks are optional and vaccinations are encouraged.
