I went to NEED to get help finding a place to live. After speaking with my immigration counselor, I learned that I qualified for the DACA immigration program. NEED filed my application and it was approved by USCIS in 8 months. Now I have authorization to work and have started my own business.

I failed the Citizenship test 4 times because I never learned how to read as a child in Jamaica. For years I hid my shame. Ms. Johnson was the first person, I felt comfortable sharing this with. She resubmitted my application with the immigration disability form. Today, I am a proud US Citizen.
