Friday Update on In-State Tution for Qualified DACA Recipients--Bad News

By
The Georgia Court of Appeals just now granted the Board of Regents Emergency Motion for Supersedeas.  This means that Judge Tusan's order granting in-state tuition is on hold during the appeal.  There will likely be no in-state tuition this semester.  This is deeply saddens me and I know that each of you are heartbroken by this news. 

The Board of Regents has again delayed your education and stymied your efforts to better yourselves for no reason other than to punish you for how your parents brought you to this country. Do not let them get you down.  Do not let them defeat you.  I will keep fighting on your behalf, and I will do everything possible to prevail at the Court of Appeals, and if necessary, at the Georgia Supreme Court. 

We will not give up on you, Don't give up on yourself.  Keep the Faith!

Stay tuned here for more updates, or like my Facebook page, Charles H. Kuck, and you will be notified of all update on in-state tuition as any become available.

By
Are you a Naturalized U.S. Citizen, Lawful Permanent Resident, Visa Holder, or an Undocumented Immigrant? We recommend you take the following steps to protect yourself in our current version of America.

Seven Reasons Why the Georgia Legislature Should Repeal HB-87

By
Recently the Alabama Attorney General called on the Alabama State Legislature to repeal parts of Alabama's horrid anti-immigration law ( HB 56), because of the "unintended" consequences of the bill (frankly, what happened was not unintended). Because of the similarity between the two laws, Georgia's Speaker of the House, David Ralston was asked whether Georgia Legislature would repeal part or all of HB 87, Georgia own anti-immigration law. HB 87 has caused almost a half a billion dollars in damage to the Georgia economy (along with untold suffering in Georgia's immigrant communities) without any noted or reported positive effect. Speaker Ralston plainly stated that the Georgia Legislature would NOT do anything to repeal HB 87 . While it understandable why a politician would not admit that a pet bill he shepherded and pushed through the state legislature was simply bad law, it is also clear that Speaker Ralston is facing a challenge on his RIGHT in th

U.S. Recognizes Five-year Extensions of Venezuelan Passport

By
Venezuelans received welcome news this last month when the National Assembly published a decree signed by Interim President Juan Guaido on May 21, to extend the validity of Venezuelan passports for an additional five years past their printed date of expiration. The U.S. Department of State issued a  statement ,recognizing this extension for visa issuance and consular process. They also stated that Customs and Border Patrol would recognize this decree. Obtaining a valid Venezuelan passport has been a difficult, if not impossible, task that has been a source of much concern for those seeking visas to the U.S. or have pending applications for immigration benefits. This decree will allow those currently holding a Venezuelan passport that has expired to automatically add 5 years of validity from the expiration date. While this statement can provide much needed assurance, we recommend that Venezuelans who are currently applying for an immigration benefit, including travel to the U.S. w
