The Immigrant Voice
Welcome to The Immigrant Voice podcast! My journey began with captivating interviews with immigrants sharing their stories of their experiences in the U.S. Now, I'm pivoting the format to cover a wide range of topics related to U.S. immigration law.
As a practicing immigration attorney since 2009, I’ll be covering a variety of topics, including topics like how to get a green card through family or employment, updates on recent immigration news and policy changes, insights from my experiences representing clients from around the world, and much more. I'll also answer questions submitted by our listeners and share real-life stories of client cases (anonymously of course and not too specific).
Whether you're an individual seeking to immigrate to the U.S., a family member sponsoring a loved one, you're an employer looking to hire foreign talent, you’re wondering how to get legal status in the U.S., or you’re just curious about the U.S. immigration system, this podcast will provide valuable insights about the U.S. immigration system.
So, come join me here as I explore a variety of U.S. immigration topics and where you can stay up-to-date on the latest developments in U.S. immigration law.

Episode 10 - Illens (Haiti)
Illens immigrated from Haiti to the states more than 34 years ago with his wife and a common pursuit to pursue their education. Now, years later, he is a father, an entrepreneur, and an author. Illens coaches and trains small business owners, which he is deeply passionate about as he knows all too well how lonely the road can be for entrepreneurs.
In this episode, he also talks about how to be welcomed by the Haitian people if you travel there and the love he has for his culture, and of course the food. Even though moving to the U.S. was a big change for him, especially to Utah when there were very few Haitians, he kept his outlook positive and realized he couldn’t live a happy life if he were wishing he was living in Haiti while living in the U.S. He chose to direct his efforts to create a positive impact in his community, and continues to do so in the work he does.
