“En mi opinión yo siento que la ayuda recibida desde el momento que vine a mi consulta de Ciudadanía fue muy fácil y sencilla , entendí cómo iba a ser todo mi proceso y desde ahí me motive a querer aplicar por la ciudadanía, aunque durante el proceso de recolección de mis documentos sucedió algo triste en mi familia , a mi hijo se le detecto cancer, pase junto con mi familia muchos momentos de tristeza y miedo de perder a mi criatura , pero viendo lo fuerte que es el , mi familia y yo logramos salir adelante y esto me me motivó aún más a continuar con mi proceso de Ciudadanía, empecé a acudir a mis clases de Ciudadania aqui en HACES, y la ayuda recibida de los maestros fue extraordinaria y logre prepararme para mi entrevista la cual logre pasar y tendre mi cita para obtener mi certificado el día 19 de Octubre primero Dios.”
Rafael, Client of HACES
Last year HACES helped over 1,000 people hoping to adjust their immigration status, or to achieve citizenship, including Rafael (pictured). During his US Citizenship application process, his family received devastating news – his young son was diagnosed with cancer.
After his application was approved, Rafael attended citizenship classes at HACES to prepare for his citizenship interview. We are happy to report that his son is doing well, and Rafael was sworn in as a US Citizen on October 19!
