REPORT ON THE SITUATION OF CAROLINA BRICENO Last night I had an extensive conversation with Carolina, which I took note of.
Next, I will show you the most outstanding points, as well as my conclusions: ANTECEDENTS: 1) Carolina arrived in the United States in October 2023, from Colombia, as a result of a request for refuge, which was accepted.
He was received at the airport by officials from "Catholic Charities Atlanta".
(https://catholiccharitiesatlanta.org/services/immigration-legal-services/ 2) Tai and as can be read from the annex link between the activities of this organization, this is to support low-income people in immigration matters, including the "Green Card" process and even later in the city of Armenia.
(3) This data wasn't given to me by Carolina, I looked for them.
I include them because we have to have on the horizon the fact that such organization offers possibilities that in normal circumstances are very difficult to achieve.
4) Carolina signed a series of documents that I present to the staff of the organization.
Because that person didn't speak almost Spanish and Carolina doesn't speak English, Carolina ignores the content of what I sign.
For the same reasons, of the impossibility of being understood, the staff member does not explain the other programs that exist with other agendas.
This last circumstance is more than obvious, if we consider that the agendas are independent and that they obtain their funds in part of the State and part of donations.
I mean, no one's gonna make propaganda for an agenda other than yours because it's losing the client.
(5) Within the little information that Carolina received was the fact that in principle they have some funds and other aids, for the maximum period of SEIS (6) MESES. 6) Apparently, according to Carolina, the agenda was on the obligation to facilitate a number of activities and benefits (Reception Program, Vocational Program, Money, Housing, Minim Expenses, Medical Assistance, etc.).
7) The agenda suffers from a series of irregularities.
You've never been provided with a copy of the documents that Carolina signed.
Therefore, it is not known that type of profits offered him, and even more "to what kind of obligations Carolina is engaged and that benefits accepted".
8) Carolina went to an apartment, where she lives.
Which, unlike the I eyd that must correspond, the goods, furniture, etc., are in poor condition, without possibilities of use.
I intuit that the Hegar alii the agenda did not with Carolina an inspection of the place to record the situation, and avoid the assumption of Carolina's future responsibilities in this regard.
The apartment in referenda, according to Carolina, is rented to his name.
In the same way, public services are on their behalf.
This makes it presume, that among the clauses that Carolina signed, she is authorizing her to the agenda to represent her in these actions.
This is deduced from the fact that no real estate agency can legally rent on behalf of a third party without the authorization of this third party.
The same will be true of public services.
It is to be assumed that the agenda has signed some kind of contract with these real estate companies to guarantee the possibility of facilitating housing for certain groups of people, and that the State also recognizes their management to guarantee public services.
But, I repeat, without Carolina's authorization, this would have been impossible 9) The agenda, by negligence, disorder, etc., has not only given him a copy of the documents, but has stopped providing primordial information so that Carolina could start a new life in the US. Among them, I do not inform you about your appointment medica obligators to start processing your Green Card (Carolina finds out and claims and currently you come to the appointment.
Because of the fact that the GCya deal is underway); I do not inform you about an appointment for the "child support" (second Carolina, from that office called you by phone asking you why you hadn't attended the appointment.
She informed them that she was unaware of this and that office informed her that she had lost the opportunity to receive certain benefits (this needs to be analyzed better to see the possibility of requesting a reconsideration of this refusal), the work permit, despite having been received by the agenda long before, was only delivered 2 months later (which made her lose 2 months to get a job), social insurance Io tramito Carolina because the apparently inter,to long dates to this tramite (already Carolina has its 55).
10) Carolina received some money for food (although under bad treatment and certain vejamen) and certain other amounts for routine expenses.
He also obtained the "Medicare" (which is invaluable in this country).
(11) Carolina was informed that its benefits had ended, and that it would not only be for the first six months of the six months, but apparently for 90 days.
12) Because of the situation of Carolina, of total lack of knowledge and helplessness, it has had some disagreements with the agenda, reaching the point of having to call the police (911 which go to the place), being "in the lobby of the agenda and not being able to leave alii".
She has filmed, recorded and turned photos of some of these circumstances, as well as published them on the nets.
Thanks to this, a renowned person in the city communicates with her and intercedes with the agenda.
The agenda is communicated with the one and senate the date of a medical appointment that Carolina requeria.
UPDATE SITUATION: 1) Carolina has not continued to receive the benefits that, according to her corresponding.
I don't know until I get the card or the money for the food.
(2) I got a part time job, which, while very positive, does not guarantee its stability.
(3) Because of the problems caused by the incompetence of the agenda, Carolina has had even suicidal ideas that forced her to communicate with the office that handles these cases in the state.
He has also received some psychological attention.
(4) The schedule stops paying the apartment and public services.
Because the property where she lives and the public services are in her name apparently, and that she has no economic capacity to pay them, she risks being sued.
In fact, it has already been notified by the people of the building, who must pay the monthly.
For the case of being sued, she would have to assume the cost of a trial, or Hegar to an agreement.
In any case, the seta solution gets out of her house, which would leave her on the street.
Similarly, you must pay public services.
Apparently, in the past he had to pay some of them, for court notice of the service.
The consequence of not solving this situation is very serious because Carolina could lose all credit capacity in the country.
5) Carolina would prefer to live in another state, like Texas, where the cost of living is lower than that of Atlanta.
However, it cannot move without having the documents I sign and all the information that corresponds to it.
Nor can it, being in plans of the GC, without informing the authorities of the new direction where to place it.
Either way, this is a future possibility.
6) There is a series of inconsistencies with the agenda.
While this last year I notify you in writing that your management with her was over.
As a result of the intervention of the person, mentioned above, highly respected in the locality, which saw the videos published by Carolina, the agenda notified Carolina about some new actions he has made (I think it refers to medical matters).
URGENT MATTERS THAT MAKE AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) Legal assistance is required for Carolina to be represented in front of the agenda (the agenda refuses to have some kind of direct relationship with it), for the purposes of: a) Get the documents that Carolina signed and know that the agenda is obliterated and that Carolina is engaged.
This includes knowing what benefits Carolina has for her.
(b) Get direct information from the agenda regarding the benefits that Carolina has provided, its amounts and the type of benefits, as well as whether they are in effect, or whether they have already ceased.
In case you're done, when you're done and why.
(c) Get information on the status of the Green Card process.
(d) Get from the agenda information about the situation of the apartment where Carolina lives and the public services.
This is, in the name of who they are, what is the amount and modality of payment, etc.
(e) To accuse the real estate, and/or persons responsible for the management of the property to know its version of the situation and informal" about the special circumstances of Carolina, in order to paralyse any action against it.
Likewise, collaborate to get to know the situation of Carolina against public services.
f) If possible, try to make Hegar an agreement with the agenda so that it will continue to facilitate the benefits to Carolina.
RECOMMENDATIONS: • In the state in which Carolina is found, lack of information, resources, knowledge of the language, and rejection of the agenda towards his person, it is vital to support it As soon as possible with a lawyer (pro bono or paid) who knows about immigration and refuge and who has experience.
These agendas are highly respected in the localities and the risk is that, if you come to a little experienced professional, the Io agenda will be disinformed and the objectives are not achieved.
• The goal is not to fight with the agenda, despite her mistreatment of Carolina, but to support her for the realization of her benefits and the search for a new life.
For reason, videos and all kinds of information published by Carolina must stop until they see what is happening.
The idea is to medlar and solve the situation of Carolina, it is not to face the agenda, because with this it is not going to solve the problem.
• Despite my suggestion regarding the cessation of publication in the networks, it is clear that the previous publications have had an effect in favor of Carolina, in the sense of compelling the agenda to communicate with it.
For reason, it will always be an element that the agenda would take into account to negotiate with the lawyer.
No schedule that lives from donations can take the risk of a bad picture of it.
• I've suggested to Carolina that you deal with your license as soon as possible.
This, as well as serving as an identification document, will allow you to think about the possibility of working in companies, such as Uber, for example.
You see, as she would do for the acquisition of a vehicle.
• Despite getting a part time job, it's obvious that you should get a steady job.
Of alii that another reason to stop in the publication of videos, be to prevent it from being known as "trouble maker".
In Atlanta there are means of communication, which would be worth investigating from Carolina to offer its services.
• It's important to follow all of the Green Card.
Don't miss appointments, etc.
There is a webpage where one can track the tramites and even send information.
For the Io, the agenda should facilitate the lawyer, or Carolina, copy of the documents he has received from the immigration office.
These documents are not secrets, they correspond to the person who is making the procedures, and to the beneficiary.
If an appointment for the GC is lost and it is not previously informed of the impossibility to go, the procedure will be lost and it will be practically impossible to resume it.
Here you have to be very prudent.
It is not a question of cowardice, but of strategy, if you continue to fight with the agenda, you run the risk that this, of bad faith, communicates with the Green Card board and asks you to suspend it.
• It is important to know what type of Medicare has Carolina, as there are different plans that include hospitalization, medicine, etc.
Carolina can report directly to this, communicating directly with the Medicare office.
By general regia one can request that plans be extended to types A, B, C and D. • There are state offices that help people pay the internet, telephone, water, light and even give cash.
I think they do it for residents or citizens, but we have to explore this online.
Carolina must look for that information, and call and/or cudir these offices.
There may be options for people on their situation.
CONCLUSIONS: J The situation of Carolina is important, because you have to attend to it immediately.
However, and this I would like to highlight him today, despite all that has happened, he has benefited from some things that many immigrants have not been able for years.
I mean the Green Card process, having a social security, having Medicare.
I think we have to deal with the situation from the point of view of the negotiation, and not the confrontation.
If the case is dealt with as soon as possible, I'm sure that in a couple of months Carolina will be on the way to solve her situation and make progress in her life in this country.-
