IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ARE IN DEMAND

Cynthia Hess of Tulsa, OK grew up near Treynor and introduced her family and aunt in attendance. Hess left Treynor to pursue higher education and is now a lawyer and a certified public accountant working at private practice in Tulsa. Hess explained she takes on work associated with taxes, small businesses, bankruptcy, estates and probate, and immigration. Hess has a number of immigration cases and observed that immigration has become a political football leading to m! ore rules and more work to assist aliens to become US citizens. She noted there are now three departments covering different aspects of immigration. The Citizen Immigration Service handles the administration of becoming a citizen. The Immigration Custom Enforcement is responsible for law enforcement within the US. The Custom Border Patrol is responsible for the borders of the US. Hess said the citizenship process has become more complicated and time consuming, a bonus for her profession.
