Safe & Welcoming Roeland Park presents: Immigration 101 Workshop by Catalina Velarde
Channel: sw roelandpark
Date: 2020-04-25

Did you know that many immigrants who are going through the U.S. citizenship process are on a 'wait list' of over 100 years? This list includes those whose lives are in danger in their home country! Please join us for a training session to learn more about how the immigration system works - and doesn’t work - for millions of people in our country and around the world.
