Project Citizenship

Apr 5, 2021 | Community

We partnered with Project Citizenship and adopted three sessions in July 2018 to assist pre-screened clients with completing naturalization applications. Volunteers completed thirteen applications, helping to serve clients born in six different countries: Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Colombia, and Cape Verde. With the assistance of the volunteers, Project Citizenship was also able to complete fee waivers for eleven of the thirteen applicants, saving them a combined $7,975 in application fees. Helping make new citizens is rewarding work.

Why Women’s History Matters

Women have always played a vital role in building America, yet their accomplishments have too often gone unnoticed.  Learning about the women who history overlooked allows us to deepen our gratitude for the trailblazers who sacrificed so much to contribute to the improvement of our society. It also allows us the space to challenge misconceptions we may hold and fortify our knowledge of the diverse individuals who have shaped our country.   In honor of Women’s History Month, WR Immigration is inviting our peers, employees, friends, and clients to take a moment to reflect on the incredible contributions that women made not only in the United States but across the globe.  For starters, we are kicking off this month with another interactive learning experience – our Women’s History Quiz – that is part of WR Immigration’s “Continue the Learning” program.  We encourage you to take this 3-minute quiz to test your knowledge of women’s rights as well as the contributions of several influential women in the arts, sciences, business, and politics. After you take the quiz, check out the additional learning resources we have posted below.

Gender at a X-Road in Global Mobility

Pride month takes place in June, and marks a celebration of the achievements, culture, and activism of the LGBTQ+ community.  This June, WR Immigration is proud to be standing with the LGBTQ+ community by leading efforts to combat discrimination, violence, and disruptions for transgender, non-binary, and gender persons as they pursue career growth and opportunities abroad. Transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming travelers can face unique challenges when traveling, relocating, and immigrating internationally.  For starters, gathering documents for travel or immigration purposes can be difficult for LGBTQ+ individuals, especially when a passport, birth certificate, or other identifying document bears a name and/or photo that no longer corresponds to a person’s gender identity.  Another challenge is navigating the patchwork of gender laws and attitudes across the global mobility landscape. Not all countries are welcoming or safe for LGBTQ+ individuals.  In fact, according to the United Nations, same-sex relationships remain criminalized offenses in over 70 countries, and in five of these countries, they are punishable by death.         WR Immigration is committed to helping clients with transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming identities overcome these challenges.  One way we improve the mobility experience for these individuals is by meticulously researching international policies at the […]
