Important Information

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM USCIS:

New Application and Petition Fees Go Into Effect on Nov. 23, 2010:

WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds customers that its new fee schedule goes into effect Nov. 23, 2010.  Applications or petitions postmarked or otherwise filed on or after this date must include the new fee, or they will be rejected.

USCIS published the new fee schedule in the Federal Register on Sept. 24, following a comprehensive review of public comments received after publication of the proposed rule this summer. 

The new fee schedule increases application and petition fees by an average of about 10 percent but does not increase the naturalization application fee. 

For complete information about these important fee changes, follow www.uscis.gov and click on the appropriate update box near the top of the page.

ESTATE PLANNING:

It is always preferable to have a will. A will states your preference as to what should happen to your property, including everything from the home you live in to the small keepsakes you cherish.  Without a Will, all of your property will be disposed of according to what the state’s rules are, but with a Will, you make the rules.  A will can and should be changed as your circumstances and preferences change. Even if you take measures to avoid probate, you should have a will as a back-up. A will should always be drawn up by a qualified attorney familiar with your financial circumstances, family situation and your wishes for your estate.
