Personal Narrative: A Career In Immigration Law

I am not white, but I am not Mexican either. I am, however, a first generation Mexican American with parents from San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Perhaps I do not know what it is like to cross the border that refrains me from being Mexican, or the color of my skin that refrains me from being white, but my own personal experiences make me the Mexican American that I am today. Growing up I celebrated the Fourth of July with fireworks, and the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe with matlachines.

Although one of his cases that was interviewed years ago, the applicant filed for naturalization too soon based on the admission date that was noted during your interview. Along with the extended wait time with ELIS, the applicant was quite upset because she was attempting to apply for public assistance. We need to understand that our errors can have a big effect on the public that we serve. Attention to detail to the admission dates in ICMS needs to be correct.

Immigration is a very broad topic, taking into consideration all of the emotional aspects it also provokes for the group of minorities that fall into this category in the United States. Although America is the home of a range of diversity, many still wish that their hopes of completing their “American dream” does not end soon. The Deferred Act for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is shortly coming to a complete end. This privilege of having the act gives many the opportunity to be considered a citizen and have most of the benefits that this act offers. But there are still immigrants, like Jose Antonio Vargas, out there who “even though I think of myself as an American and consider America my country, my country doesn’t think of me as one of its own.”

After completing the requirement, they were allowed to apply for state

Due to a recent repeal of the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival), a family is left wondering whether it is going to remain together or be separated. Domingo Gonzales, a man who illegally arrived in the United States at a young age, was accepted into the DACA program on his second arrival into the US. This program allows individuals who entered the US as a minor (illegally) to receive a two-year delay of deportation and a work-permit. Now that the DACA has be repealed, Gonzales’ wife, Flor Torres and three children (one on the way) do not know what is going to happen to their husband/father. Others like Gonzalez can apply for a two-year extension if a deadline is met.

Growing up I had a lot of obsticles that I had to overcome and difficulties in pursuit of one day having a better future for my family. With that being said, I can identify a good life as growing into a successful person and being able to stand on your own feet without the needs of others. It can also be identified as a person who has earned it's wealthy lifestyle by proving they have reached the level of integrity and values. I look forward to someday becoming a well-know respected person to the community. I would like to share my wealth with those people who need the help.

Non-Immigrant workers in the U.S. It 's 5:00 am, and the sun’s light is just breaking over the crest of the Birch Mountain.   The air is cool and crisp, and the grass is still damp from the morning dew.  “This summer is going to be the best summer yet”, I thought to myself.

I woke up on an especially cool winter morning and looked over to my mother’s side of the bed. She was not there, I knew that, but I secretly wished she was. I swung my legs off the bedside and rushed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get myself ready for school. This was a typical morning for me.

Scotty: Dude look at all those Mexicans crossing the border illegally and stealing our jobs! It makes me really mad!! Why can’t they just stay in their own country? Neeyal:

I used to have this grudges in my heart when everything go hard that would made me wanted to blame my parent. But I can’t because I was not raise to think that way. When I come to America, I was eleven years old and no one asked me if I wanted to come it just happen in a second. I was in a cold place with extended family that I never met before and that one person who raise me and made me feel secure was still back in the country. I had to lived months without her and next thing you know I adapted and convince myself they are doing this because the wanted the best for me.

Insd thanked me for the call and provided name and number for any additional feedback or concerns he might

January 11, 2013, I wake up to yelling, prayers, and crying. I walked into the kitchen where all the noises were coming from and I found my mother on the floor crying, talking on the phone with my godmother. My father was there by her side, trying hard not to cry while supporting his wife. I didn’t know what was happening, this was the first time I’ve seen my mom so vulnerable and broken. My parents didn’t tell me anything other than my grandmother was in critical condition at the hospital, but with god's help she would overcome this hard time.

First generation immigrants sacrifice their adulthood in search of a better life for their family and for future generations to come. My father came from Peru to support his family. He was the first person in his family to come to America. He works in road construction from morning until night so that my family is supported. The desire to repay both of my parents is the belief that guides my life.

“WE ARE ON ELLIS ISLAND!! GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOU MAKE IT!!!!!” I am finally here! I hope my new Romanian friend makes it through immigration too!

I remember the first time that I ever lied to my parents. The situation was fairly innocuous, but from my perspective as a five year old, it seemed like a broke the law. I think it was something as stupid as accidentally breaking a pot in the backyard. I knew that I would reprimanded for it, so I made a resolution to say the dogs crashed into it. Waiting for my parents to come home, each moment morphed into my own private eternity.
