Melonie Granston
Global Immigration Consultant
As an immigrant, privileged to living the American dream as a United States Citizen, I too navigated the immigration process. I quickly realized that despite all my education, the process was daunting. I deeply empathize with my fellow immigrants as they face the challenges of immigration.
In 2018, I had an opportunity to work in an Immigration Law Firm, where I gained firsthand knowledge of the struggles immigrants face. Many grapple with the complexities of immigration law, the financial burden of high attorney fees, and the fear of falling out of status.
During conversations with these immigrants, I witnessed their deep desire to comply with the law and the sacrifices they made to ensure legal status. They pooled every penny earned and borrowed from friends and family to cover attorney and filing fees.
Years later, the struggles hit closer to home when a friend, having married a US citizen, encountered obstacles in his immigration process. With a low-paying job and a family to support, affording the attorney fees seemed insurmountable. He faced stress and frustration, scraping together every penny and relying on loans from loved ones to meet the financial demands.
Moved by the pain experienced by both my friend and fellow immigrants, and driven by a passion for accountability, fairness, and justice, I am committed to empowering others to achieve their full potential. Equipped with critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and a coaching mindset, I strive to make a positive impact, changing lives and communities.
I specialize in assisting men and women obtain a US Green Card, providing them with the chance to live the American Dream without the fear of falling out of status or the burden of high fees.
