GUIDE TO USING ILRC'S IMMIGRATION PACKETS
IN COMMUNITY MEETINGS
We suggest that first you read our
Guide to Organizing an Immigration Community Meetings: A step-by-step Approach.
For a quick view on how to produce, use and update the packets, please see the text below.
Here are the ILRC's immigration information packets in Spanish and English.
Quick View of Guide:
| 1. | Reproducing packet for community meetings: We recommend reproducing one for each family expected at the meeting. There are versions in Spanish and English. We suggest copying it on 2-sided paper, stapled.
| | 2. | There is only one page that should be updated monthly. You can find it by searching for "Fechas" in Spanish , or "dates" in the English packet. The page reproduces relevant portions of the VISA BULLETIN and is titled in Spanish:
"FECHAS DE PRIORIDAD PARA VISAS FAMILIARES DE INMIGRANTE"
You need to insert the current priority dates for the different preference categories.
The current Visa Bulletin is available on the Internet at http://visalaw.com/visa_bulletin.html
