Yahoo! en Español has launched Nuevo País, Nueva Vida, a
new web site on Yahoo! Noticias designed to simplify the immigration
experience for millions of Hispanics living in the U.S. In collaboration
with Western Union, Nuevo País, Nueva Vida provides
educational information about the immigration process through editorial
articles, slideshows, videos, and more.
Users can find news and opinions from legal experts and Yahoo!’s
seasoned editors on topics such as obtaining permanent residency,
requesting a tourist visa, securing healthcare and other insurance
coverage, and creating a budget to live in the U.S. The site also
features advice and tools on how to support and connect with family and
friends back home.
“We are always thinking about how to better serve the daily habits of
our Hispanic users, and a collection of resources on immigration topics
and tips on how to succeed in the U.S. was a natural addition to Yahoo!
en Español,” said Javier Garcia, General Manager of Yahoo! U.S.
Hispanic. “We are excited to work with Western Union and hope that,
together, we will help inspire and empower people to improve their
lives.”
“We’re very excited to help launch this go-to immigration resource,”
said Laston Charriez, senior vice president of marketing, Americas,
Western Union. “It has something for everyone, including breaking news,
information on new laws, a blog with useful immigration tips, videos and
so much more.”
Nuevo País, Nueva Vida is available via desktop computers
and mobile phones on Yahoo! en Español (http://es-us.noticias.yahoo.com/nuevo-pais-vida/)
