           MUÑOZ LAW FIRM IN THE COMMUNITY

*On July 1, 2010, the Vital Statistics Office of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico began issuing new, more secure certified copies of birth certificates to U.S. citizens born in Puerto Rico, because of a new Puerto Rico birth certificate law. After September 30, 2010, all certified copies of birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010, will become invalid. After September 30, 2010, USCIS will not accept any certified copies of Puerto Rico birth certificates (PRBC) issued before July 1, 2010 for the purpose of establishing eligibility for immigration benefit petitions and applications.

La Prensa Newspaper organized a free event to help Puerto Ricans in the community fill out the correct forms to obtain the new more secure certified copies of their birth certificates as a result of an amendment to a law in Puerto Rico. Widalis Muñoz donated her services to help people affected by this change in Puerto Rican Law.
