Another LUM Client Becomes US Citizen |
|
LUM Immigration Clinic Client - Hermès D. |
|
Recently, another LUM Immigration Clinic client, Hermès D., became a US citizen. He & his wife moved to Indiana from Mexico in 2015, leaving his two grown children behind. His goal is to reunite his family; and after meeting with the LUM Immigration Clinic, he decided to apply to become a US citizen.
After more than eight months, LUM is thrilled to announce that Hermès was sworn in as a US citizen with his family (pictured) in attendance at a ceremony in Indianapolis. All of his hard work and the assistance from LUM paid off. Hermès is grateful to LUM and will continue to work with the LUM Immigration Clinic to reunite his family. {Please note that this story is true but the names have been changed out of respect for the entire family.}
