Nimo and Nadil's Story
When Nimo left Africa to join her mother in the United States, she had to leave part of herself behind. Nadil, Nimo’s 2-year-old son could not join his mother and grandmother due to immigration law, which prevented his grandmother from petitioning for him to come to the United States as well. Thus Nimo had to make the heart-wrenching decision to leave her young son and come to the United States alone. From the moment she arrived, Nimo began work on filling the papers that would allow Nadil to join her in the U.S..
Nimo’s journey to reunite with her son led her to the MICA Project, which helped her file the correct paperwork, respond to governmental inquiries, and resolve issues of final travel authorization while expediting the process wherever possible. Through the subsidized legal services, made possible because of donations to the MICA Project, Nimo was able to afford the legal support needed to bring Nadil home to the United States. After 1½ years, seven different governmental agencies, and almost $2,000 in governmental fees, Nimo and Nadil were finally reunited earlier this year.
Although they are together, their journey is not over. Nimo still continues to work hard to support her son and provide him with all opportunities available; this includes filing more applications and paying more fees so she and Nadil can remain permanently as U.S. citizens.
Nimo’s bravery and strength to persevere through the mountains of paperwork and twisting trails of governmental procedure enabled her to bring her son to the United States. Yet Nimo and Nadil still face a long road ahead as they continue their journey to make America their permanent home. Offer them a hand on their journey by making a donation today.
