Frania Campbell's Story
Frania Campbell entered the U.S. when she was only 9 years old. She grew up in Phoenix, AZ as any other American kid. However, she did not have legal status. When she was 23 years old she came to Friendly House. The Immigration Department was able to help her obtain DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Then in 2009, she married Wendell, her high school sweetheart. Because Wendell is a U.S. Citizen, Friendly House assisted Frania by helping her become a Lawful Permanent Resident. She has been approved and is now on the pathway towards U.S. Citizenship.

Additional Information
Avoid notario fraud
A “notario” or “notary public” does not have any specialized immigration knowledge and is authorized only to corroborate someone’s identity on a letter or form.
Be wary if a provider does any of these:
-
Asks you to sign blank documents
-
Refuses to give you a contract for their services
-
Refuses to show their license or accreditation
-
Guarantees positive results
-
Claims a special relationship to an immigration officer or judge that will benefit your case.
