Maui To Stop Processing Immigration Applications … The county said it will no longer prepare and review immigration applications and other documents for Maui residents following the retirements of federally accredited staff.
Maui County announced this month that it will stop helping people complete immigration forms because staff members who recently received federal accreditation to process and review such documents have retired.
Starting Dec. 1, the county’s Immigration Services Division will maintain a supply of free immigration forms, but it will no longer assist people in filling them out.
The change puts at risk Maui residents who, for example, could lose their ability to hold a job if the paperwork to renew their green card status is denied due to clerical errors.
Maui immigration attorney Kevin Block said the reduction in free immigration services on the island could have broader effects on the community.
