ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo says that the new Office for New Americans assisted more than 34,000 immigrants during its first year.

Launched last March, the office’s “Opportunity Centers” helped with naturalization, federal immigration law and policy information as well as business development training.

There are 27 centers across New York. They are supported by a team of lawyers specializing in immigration and naturalization.

Cuomo’s announcement Friday comes on the first day of this weekend’s Somos El Futuro conference organized by Hispanic legislators in Albany.
