CAIC Planning Meeting a Great Success!
Our thanks to the interested professional Immigration Consultants who attended a meeting on July 18 at the Quiet Canon Restaurant in Montebello.
Over 40 people gathered in a beautiful banquet room to begin planning for the formation of an Association. There was overwhelming agreement from the group that there is a need for an organization to address the issues of professional Immigration Consultants in California.
Local Immigration Consultants agree there is a need to form an organization!

The Status of AB1999. Fight the new legislation that will affect you!
Our thanks to these dedicated Immigration Consultants who went to Sacramento on June 25 to lobby against AB1999.
These dedicated professionals paid their own expenses and took time away from their businesses in order to speak to legislators who are considering the passage of AB1999. It is very important that we make contact with legislators that will support us in our effort to stop or modify this bill!
