Dhenu Maru, Indian Immigration Lawyer, on Her Struggles as a New Immigrant and Immigration Misconceptions
from MigrAsians
Immigration is not a simple process. If I didn't know this before, my conversation with immigration lawyer Dhenu Maru, an immigrant herself, proved this point. We talk about her difficulties acclimating as a young girl emigrating from Mumbai, India, and how this inspired her to become a lawyer, though the reason isn't what you might think. Dhenu talks about common misconceptions such as "immigrants are taking our jobs" or "they just need to get in line" in a way that anyone can understand. My parents may have immigrated to the United States from India, just like Dhenu, but she talks about how laws have changed, the many reasons people seek out an immigration lawyer, and the hoops you have to jump through to navigate the multidimensional U.S. immigration system. You can learn more about Dhenu's firm at www.swagatusa.com and by phone at (312) 854-7065. You can also join her Facebook group/community USA Immigration Experience.
