In this Episode of L.G.N., I sat down with Amanda Mundt, NNIC’s Volunteer Program Coordinator, to talk about community response and what it really looks like when local organizations, churches, and advocates come together to support immigrant families. We had a very real conversation about the gaps, the challenges, and also the powerful ways people show up—whether it’s through volunteering, partnerships, or simply being present. This episode gives a closer look at the human side of this work and why community support plays such a critical role in helping families feel welcomed, supported, and able to rebuild their lives.

In this episode of Local. Global. Nevada, I speak with Walid Sabooryar about the deeply personal experience of family reunification. Following our previous episode that explored the legal framework behind the process, this conversation focuses on the human side of immigration—what it means to wait for loved ones, navigate uncertainty, and hold onto hope while family members remain separated by borders. Walid shares his journey of bringing family members to the United States, the emotional and practical challenges along the way, and the resilience required to rebuild family life after years of separation. His story reminds us that behind every immigration case is a family striving to be together again.

In Episode 6 of Local. Global. Nevada., I sit down with immigration legal represntative Annie Allen to talk about what many immigrant families experience when trying to reunite with their significant others. In this conversation, we focus on the legal side of family reunification: how the process works, who is eligible to petition for family members, and why waiting times and visa backlogs can keep families separated for years. Annie also shares insights into some of the most common challenges families face while navigating the immigration system and explains why it is so important to work with qualified immigration attorneys or accredited representatives. We also discuss the risks of relying on unauthorized practitioners and how families can better protect themselves while going through this complex process. My goal for this episode is to help make the legal framework of family reunification clearer and more accessible for anyone trying to understand how these systems affect real families.
