The U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) is offering a number of free, informative webinars for the public in January, 2023.  These include webinars for workers, employers, and advocates.  Please review IER’s webinar schedule to choose the right presentation for you.

IER enforces the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This law prohibits citizenship, immigration status, and national origin discrimination in hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral for a fee; unfair documentary practices; retaliation and intimidation. For more information visit www.justice.gov/ier.

This will be effective 12/12/2022 and will have a notation on the N-400 Application for Naturalization receipt notice that can be presented with the expired Green Card as evidence of continued status as well as identity and employment authorization under List A for form I-9, the Employment Eligibility Verification form, if presented before the expiration of the 24-month extension period provided in the notice.

This is expected to help naturalization applicants who experience longer than usual processing times.
