To be thankful, is one of the most important things that we are taught when we are growing up. “You have to give thanks,” our mothers used to say when someone gave us something or helped us with something. And in the United States there is a day dedicated especially to that, to give thanks. Thanksgiving Day has its origins in Canada, the tradition started to give thanks for the harvests of the season and for being able to share them. This is a day to share with the family, to celebrate and give thanks for what life has given us throughout the year. Every year millions of families reunite together to give thanks and no one should be an exception to that rule, but there are those who cannot be with their families because they had to emigrate and had to do it alone. The United States is the country that receives the majority number of immigrants each year, and part of those thousands…Read More

With the rise of irregular immigration in the United States, hundreds of people have been separated from their families, breaking the bond of unity that any parent or child wishes to preserve regardless of their socioeconomic situation. The World Health Organization defines the family as “a group of people living together under the same roof, organized in fixed roles (father, mother, siblings, etc.) with blood or non-blood ties, with a common economic and social way of life, with affective feelings that unite and bind them together”. A concept that, in recent years, motivated by the diaspora of citizens from different countries of the continent, has been dismembered by the separations of its members. On Thursday, July 14, the U.S. the United States government issued an Immigration Law enforcement directive to federal agents, instructing them to ask migrants about their parental or guardian status during detentions. The move is part of a broader effort by Joe Biden to prioritize family unity and replace former President Donald…Read More

After the electoral victory of Gustavo Petro, candidate of the Colombian leftist movements, many neo-Granadians began to ask questions about their future. In part, due to the uncertainty of what will be the destiny of the nation that has been governed by the rightist in its previous presidential terms. The big question is, what will happen with the social or political destiny of everyone, and more importantly for some, the economic destiny and guarantees for investors in the coffee lands. Looking for new horizons is now more than a tempting opportunity for many people. Families, workers, students and business people are beginning to value the opportunity to look for a country with economic stability, and the United States is always at the top of the list of those possibilities. The ‘land of opportunity’ has been the destination of choice for Latin American families and investors in recent decades. Jobs opportunities, stability and growth opportunities have led thousands of immigrants to make the move to the…Read More

Many Nicaraguans, as thousands of citizens of Latin American countries, have been forced to leave their homeland in search of a better future for their families. A phenomenon similar to the exodus they experienced in the eighties, during the revolution called Sandinista, where they escaped repression, military service and a not very encouraging economy. The current panorama of the Nicaraguans is not far from that past experience, causing thousands of citizens of the Central American nation to continue migrating to the United States, and in recent years the statistics continue to rise. The number of Nicaraguans entering the country between January 2021 and April 2022 is 141,000, most of them seeking political asylum, claiming persecution by the government of Daniel Ortega. Currently, more than 400,000 Nicaraguan immigrants are in the United States. A figure that in just one year increased by more than 30%, and projections point to a rise in the coming years, with large numbers of Nicaraguans seeking avenues to seek a better…Read More

If you are applying for a visa, you will need to undergo an in-person interview. These are conducted at US embassies and consulates in your country of origin. Because the process may be new to some and overwhelming to others, it helps to understand what to expect. For instance, knowing which papers (and receipts) to bring and realizing that you will likely be fingerprinted will make everything easier. When you have a solid idea of what to expect, you can focus on the interview and obtain your visa. Embassies & Consulates These buildings are where representatives from one country that live in another work. If you live in London and are trying to obtain a visa to teach in the US, you would go to the US Embassy in London. Before your interview, go to the embassy’s (or consulate’s) website. Look for details regarding visitors. For instance, some embassies will want to see your appointment time. Others may admit people as they line up to…Read More

If you are new to the immigration process, there will be an overwhelming amount of information available to you. Your goal is likely to stay in this country. Visas and green cards are two (2) methods for achieving this. Because they are both different, their use and even the application process is going to be unique. Different Types of Visas The fundamental difference between a visa and a green card is that a visa expires. A green card is something someone carries to demonstrate they are legal permanent residents of the United States. Though they are not full-fledged citizens, they are entitled to stay here. And they can hold this status indefinitely while they apply for citizenship. Though visas allow you to enter the United States and stay here, they expire. At which time, you will either need to return home or pursue another means to stay. Two (2) broad categories cover visas: 1. Non-immigrant visas 2. Immigrant visas The difference between the two (2) is that a non-immigrant visa is…Read More
