Maurice Goldman writes: "I have personally received calls the past few weeks about the “new law” or “nueva ley” that is in effect in immigration.

What has not happened:
Whenever there is media interest and talk about some sort of immigration reform there tends to be a lot of confusion about it and the process. There are also, unfortunately, individuals who are already trying to take advantage of this confusion like scammers, notarios, and others.
