LUM Immigration Clinic Client Becomes US Citizen
|
|
Luis Urbano Completes His Pathway to Citizenship
|
|
Luis first came to LUM for help in preparing his income taxes. When he discovered that LUM also offered assistance with immigration issues, he set up a meeting with the LUM Immigration Clinic for advice and assistance with the status of his children. Eventually, Luis, who is originally from Peru, decided to start his own process to become a US citizen. He attended the LUM
Citizenship Classes
and was tutored by LUM volunteer, Adelia Sorge, for several
months.
LUM is thrilled to announce that on July 7 at a naturalization ceremony at the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services Field Office in Indianapolis,
Luis Urbano was sworn in as a US citizen with his family in attendance. All of his hard work and the assistance from LUM has paid off.
