Today, MOIA celebrates Nepal’s Constitution Day, and we’re grateful for all the ways Nepali New Yorkers strengthen the social, cultural and economic fabric of our city.

Our hearts remain with Nepalis across NYC and back at home who have been impacted by the devastating floods. We extend our condolences to everyone grieving loved ones or awaiting updates on the safety of their friends and family.

MOIA remains committed to supporting Nepali New Yorkers during this time.

In the heart of the most diverse borough, our team recently returned for another festive Annual Queens Momo Crawl NYC, to enjoy great company, hear inspiring stories of local business owners, and eat delicious momos with 7,000+ attendees.
 
Big to this year’s organizers and sponsors, Students for a Free Tibet - New York/New Jersey and , for their hard work and dedication in making this event a success. This year, 31 MoMo restaurants and trucks took part in the competition. Congrats to the finalists! 
 
We had a great time participating and sharing MOIA’s Little Bhod-Tibet Immigrant Enclave Illustration with participants, and speaking more about and sharing critical multilingual City resources on , MOIA’s , family preparedness, and MOIA’s Legal Immigration Support Hotline.

Yesterday, MOIA Commissioner Faiza N. Ali joined Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, New York AG Letitia James, elected officials, community leaders, and advocates at City Hall to announce that New York City and cities across the country filed a lawsuit challenging the federal government’s new public charge rule.

This new public charge rule, which takes effect on September 18, will have a chilling effect, discouraging immigrant New Yorkers from accessing the support they need.
Nobody should have to choose between their family’s well-being and their future in this country.

MOIA will help ensure immigrant New Yorkers know their rights, where to turn to for help, and can access trusted legal support. Call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at ☎️ 800-354-0365 to get connected to free, safe, and confidential legal support in your preferred language.
