Immigration

NEW YORK, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Inmigracion 411 is a weekly television series that provides Spanish-speaking Americans with practical legal advice about their immigration issues. Inmigracion 411 is produced by HITN and hosted by Victor Daniel Nieblas, a leading immigration attorney in Los Angeles.

Each week, Mr. Nieblas responds to questions that really matter to U.S. Latinos. In Episode 1, viewers ask:

"What should I do if ICE agents knock on my door?"

"How should I respond if I am taken into custody in a raid at work?"

"Can a change in my marital status impact my immigration status?"

"I've worked in the United States for years, paid my taxes, and built up a successful business. Can I legalize my status?"

Inmigracion 411 viewers can email or phone their questions to Mr. Nieblas. Some viewers will be selected to meet with Mr. Nieblas in his office for, on camera, a live consultation. Mr. Nieblas will meet with other Latinos in their homes or at their work sites.

Mr. Nieblas will provide answers in the television program and on the program's website at www.HITN.TV. The website also directs viewers to additional sources of advice.

"We intend to interview CIS, ICE and other government officials," says Mr. Nieblas. "Our viewers need to understand how government officials implement and enforce immigration laws."

According to HITN founder and CEO Jose Luis Rodriguez, "Our mission has always been to help each new wave of Latino immigrants to become productive U.S. citizens." Inmigracion 411 will reach more than 31 million HITN households and more than 60 million on VOD.

"Inmigracion 411 video segments will be available on our website, www.HITN.org," adds Rodriguez. "Spanish-dominant Hispanics are increasingly turning to the Internet for answers to questions -- particularly immigration issues -- that can't wait until the next scheduled television broadcast."
