- If you are represented by a union, contact your Union Representative. Your union can bargain with your employer
for an unpaid leave of absence, severance pay, or other separation benefits. - Contact a trusted immigration attorney immediately. Beware of “notarios” or scammers. Find a reputable legal service provider near you.
Remember – it’s important not to travel outside the U.S. without applying for and receiving advance parole and consulting with a trusted immigration attorney.
