Vera Persad is the new Chief Immigration Officer.
The Public Service Commission yesterday announced it had promoted Persad in the office of Chief Immigration Officer and Mary St Hill-Billouin and Elston Baird in the offices of Deputy Chief Immigration Officer.
Persad succeeds former Chief Immigration Officer Charmaine Gandhi-Andrews, who has retired, a spokesman said.
