Immigration Issues One of the routine functions of Congressional staff is to assist
constituents in dealing with the federal bureaucracy. Congressional
aides have direct phone numbers to the Congressional Liaison's Office
at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service. They can help you
apply for a green card, an immigrant visa, an H-1B visa, or other visa,
or with the naturalization process to obtain U.S. citizenship, or get a
straight answer.
To
obtain free help contact the office of Albio Sires, the Congressional
Representative for NJ District 13 at 201-222-2828 (NJ) or 202-225-7919
(DC).

Union City holds the distinct honor of having the lowest classification
rate among the Abbott Schools in the state of New Jersey. While the
state classification average is 16% and the Abbott average is 18.1%, Union City continues to boast the lowest classification average.
This
happened as a result of a district mandate to revamp all support
services including special education, speech, guidance counseling,
social counseling, psychiatric evaluations, OT/PT evaluations and
therapy, Title I and Alternative Education, by bringing them under one
umbrella.
