Massachusetts Bar to honor Nancy King
Bar Associations
The Massachusetts Bar Association said it will honor lawyers and law firms for providing free legal services to the public at a ceremony next month.
The association added that it will bestow its Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously to Nancy King, the former executive director of South Middlesex Legal Services who died in December.
The luncheon ceremony is scheduled for March 6th at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in Dorchester, and state Representative Byron Rushing, a Boston Democrat, has agreed to deliver the keynote address, the association said.

USCIS may issue NTAs as described below based on denials of I-914/I-914A, Application for T Nonimmigrant Status; I-918/I-918A, Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status; I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant (Violence Against Women Act self-petitions and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status petitions); I-730, Refugee/Asylee Relative Petitions when the beneficiary is present in the US; I-929, Petition for Qualifying Family Member of a U-1 Nonimmigrant; and I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (with the underlying form types listed above).
If applicants, beneficiaries, or self-petitioners who are denied are no longer in a period of authorized stay and do not depart the United States, USCIS may issue an NTA. USCIS will continue to send denial letters for these applications and petitions to ensure adequate notice regarding period of authorized stay, checking travel compliance, or validating departure from the United States.
