The USCIS updated an Online Welcome Guide for New Immigrants on September 23, 2004. This site covers subjects important to new lawful permanent residents, such as:

• Your Rights and Responsibilities as a Lawful Permanent Resident

• Getting Settled into the U.S.

• Education and Childcare

• Learning about the United States

• Becoming a U.S. Citizen

A series of articles helpful to new U.S. Permanent Residents also appeared in the MurthyBulletin. Our December 22, 2003 article, Permanent Residents, Keep These Things in Mind, available on MurthyDotCom, contains valuable information and links to other articles in the series, addressing Selective Service requirements, naturalization requirements, and extended travel abroad by permanent residents. We believe these articles can be helpful to new and not-so-new permanent residents! Our Immigrant Resource section of MurthyDotCom is also a source of basic information for anyone new to the United States.

We at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C. applaud the USCIS for providing this information. It is important to keep in mind that the USCIS is not providing legal advice. It is also important to note that the site specifically says the information was up-to-date at the time it is posted. Changes could occur at any time, so the data should be used as a general guide only. A Permanent resident should seek appropriate legal advice from a qualified immigration attorney before making any specific, long-term decisions on immigration-related issues covered within the guide.
