The IRC in Elizabeth's Immigration Supervisor, Sheila Moreira, visited both sides of the border to see the asylum seeking process personally as she works with asylum seekers in New Jersey.

The IRC in Boise launches an appeal to support its immigration and citizenship program. There is a high demand from refugees and immigrants for citizenship support.  People who have held green cards for many years are stepping forward to finish the process.  Families have sometimes before made difficult decisions to protect one family member and not others due to the cost. Now, with the support of IRC's dedicated donors, these families will not have to face these gut wrenching decisions.  Any funds raised in excess of those needed for the immediate needs of the clients will support the IRC in Boise's immigration program, including coordinating large scale citizenship workshops, promoting know your rights workshops and citizenship exam prep classes.

“This work has put it all in perspective for me. What I once only read about or heard about in the news, now has a face to it. The struggle refugees and immigrants go through, how much they want to contribute to their new country – they just want a normal life. A safe life.”

Over the past year, the IRC in Salt Lake City has completed 100 citizenship applications and has supported 46 individuals to become new U.S. citizens. Learn about how the immigration team has impacted this support!

Annette Voth and Annette Hunt are a dynamic duo reminiscent of Mario and Luigi, Sherlock and Watson, Abott and Costello or any other favorite pair you can think of that can exist independently of each other, but, when coupled together, deliver a value greater than the sum of their parts. Both women share a tenacity and a clarity of focus when it comes to taking care of clients’ immigration needs.
