This month, New Destiny is pleased to dedicate its success story to Ms. N, an immigrant participant from Jamaica whose green card had expired. According to Simplecitizen.com, there are many obstacles someone can face when a green card expires. Even though the individual is not considered illegal after the expiration, there are many restrictions that come along while waiting for renewal. Some of these restrictions are Travel, employment, renewing a driver license, or buying a house (Simplecitizen.com/immigration-support. Ms. N came to our office seeking help with her alien card; unfortunately, her mother had passed away, and she was having trouble with immigration. Imagine the desperation Ms. N was experiencing in such a difficult moment. All she could think about was how she would be able to travel and be with her loved ones. Seeing her mother one last time was all she desired. Thankfully, one of our team members jumped in to help her! She reached out to immigration, made numerous phone calls, and finally contacted someone who could provide information, and a link to the right people. As a result, NDFSC staff made appointments for Ms. N to get her green card renewed. In addition, an agent notified NDFSC staff that Ms. N could travel with the new application and her expired passport since her paperwork was in process. Of course, Ms. N was beyond thankful because she was going to see her mother one last time. This meant the world to her. Currently, Ms. N is in Jamaica honoring her mother, which is why New Destiny FSC’s support and advocacy means so much to this community. As the staff member that helped Ms. N states, “New Destiny FSC gives me the tools to find information, reach different agencies, and collaborate with my colleagues so that I can provide the necessary help to our participants. Everyone that comes into our center is looking for different types of assistance, and it is my job and honor to help each participant with humility, understanding, and empathy.”
