Overview

At Gibney, we understand that navigating the U.S. immigration system is a crucial step in a person’s professional and personal journey. As we approach Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, we reflect on the values of opportunity and inclusion that drive this nation.

Constitution Day observed annually on September 17, commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. For immigration professionals, this day serves as a reminder of the foundational legal principles that underpin U.S. governance and immigration policies. The Constitution’s emphasis on equal protection and due process influences the legal landscape of employment-based immigration, ensuring that businesses uphold fair practices when hiring and sponsoring foreign workers.

Citizenship Day, also observed on September 17, celebrates the naturalization process and the rights and responsibilities bestowed through the acquisition of U.S. citizenship. For immigration practitioners, this day is an opportunity to reflect on the vital role of naturalized citizens in the national landscape, workforce and broader economy. Naturalized individuals contribute significantly to various sectors, bringing diverse skills and perspectives that drive innovation and growth.
