Immigrants often choose to live in New York so they can receive necessary medical care. However, sometimes a person's visa may be set to expire before he or she can complete necessary treatment for a serious illness. These individuals can apply for medical deferrals, which would allow them to stay in the United States to complete their treatment plans. Although many of these requests were routinely approved in the past, it seems as if they are now being denied more frequently because of a change to immigration policy.

Could a workplace injury lead to something worse?
Employees have rights regarding workplace injury. All workers are eligible to have their medical expenses covered for on-the-job injuries. For some people, the process may be complex.
Will the revised citizenship test affect the immigration process?
Becoming a naturalized citizen is the dream of many lawful permanent residents who are living in New York. However, it is not enough to be a lawful resident who is of the right age and good moral character. Although people who are applying for citizenship must meet these requirements, they also have to pass the citizenship test administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
