IC Match Campaign – Focus of the Week – Naturalization
Congratulations, Kyaw Maung – New US Citizen & LUM Client
Kyaw Maung was in danger of having her naturalization petition denied and her green card revoked. She was demoralized and had all but given up. Fortunately, the LUM Immigration Clinic stepped in, meticulously examining her case and submitting the necessary documentation. As a result, Kyaw’s petition received approval, and she has since become a proud US citizen, contributing significantly as a valued employee within a local business.
Naturalization enables people from all over the world who have chosen Indiana as the place they want to live and raise their children to become full-fledged citizens and Hoosiers. Forty-one percent of immigrants in Indiana are naturalized citizens, and another 20% are eligible to be naturalized – if only they had someone to guide them through the process.
In 2023, the LUM Immigration Clinic helped 17 people apply for Naturalization. That’s 17 new Hoosiers, ready to help our state flourish. Without LUM, they might never have filed the application.
VIP Reception – May 2
DON’T FORGET! Every donor who gives $500 or more will be invited to attend our Campaign Reception on Thursday, May 2 at 5:30 p.m. at Lafayette Brewing Company (2nd floor event space). This reception will provide good food and drinks with a chance to mingle with other Immigration Clinic supporters and learn more about what the Immigration Clinic is doing.
