I was a victim of an immigration scam. A notario promised me a green card for $5,000 and disappeared with my money. I was ashamed and afraid to report it. Eventually I found Laurela videos that explained my rights. I reported the scam and found a real attorney who is helping me with my actual case.

My DACA renewal was about to expire and I was terrified. I had been in the US since I was 4 years old — this is the only country I know. With help from legal aid, I got my renewal processed just in time. I am now finishing my nursing degree. DACA recipients deserve a path to citizenship.

I came to the US from Guatemala in 2019 with my two children. The asylum process was long and confusing, but we found a lawyer through a community organization who helped us every step of the way. After two years of waiting, we finally received our asylum approval. My kids are now in school and thriving. Never give up hope.
