Immigration is incredibly personal for Ivan Foronda and his family, as it is something that has directly shaped their lives. Ivan’s mother was the first person he helped navigate the path to U.S. citizenship. Growing up, Ivan witnessed the challenges his mother faced, not just as an immigrant, but as someone trying to secure a better life for her family. Her journey through the complex immigration system inspired Ivan to dedicate his career to helping others achieve the same dream of citizenship and a better future.

For Ivan, immigration is more than just a career—it’s about giving others the opportunity for a new beginning, just as his mother was able to do. Her experience with the immigration process remains the foundation of Ivan’s deep commitment to supporting families and individuals on their own paths toward citizenship.
