​Cinthia & Edgar's Story

Before becoming a resident I was always afraid and anxious about what would happen to me, especially with how the political environment was at the time. I was afraid that the DACA program could be taken away at any moment. If that had happened, I would have had to leave the United States and go back to Mexico, a country that is foreign to me. Because of everything that was going on politically, my wife and I decided to apply for my residency.

Initially we were very nervous about going through the process of submitting my application, however Mr. Stark and his wonderful team guided us through everything step-by-step, and took the stress out of the whole process of applying for my residency.

After having my residency approved, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulder. My wife and I no longer have the fear and anxiety that I might have to leave the country I’ve called home for most of my life. I have always wanted to go see my grandparents who are in Mexico, and who I would talk to on the phone. I only dreamed of being able to meet them one day. I can finally visit my family in Mexico and travel around the world with my wife. I now have the freedom to travel, and we no longer live in fear of what might happen with my immigrations status. I am grateful for everything that Mr. Stark and his team have done for us.
