New Hampshire Catholic Charities’ Immigration and Refugee Services will host informational programs for young immigrants who may be eligible to apply for up to two-year reprieves from the threat of deportation and work permits under a new federal program.

Public information sessions to help answer their questions are scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 6:30 p.m. in Holy Trinity Parish, 404 High St., Somersworth, and Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. in St. Aloysius Parish, 50 W. Hollis St., Nashua.

In addition, its legal staff is registering and setting up group and individual consultations.

Immigrants must meet certain criteria to be eligible to apply. These include being under the age of 31; arriving in the United States before they turned 16; living here at least five years; being enrolled in school, graduating from high school, having a GED certificate or being honorably discharged from the armed forces or Coast Guard.
