Upload or record a video story or leave your comment about the Family Unity Waiver.

If you’d like to see a model comment, you can download and see them in English or in Spanish.

Videos should not exceed 5 minutes, so think about the aspects of your story that are most compelling. Use your personal testimony to help illustrate the injustice of our current immigration system.

Resources:

  • More information on the Family Unity Waiver from the Fair Immigration Reform Movement

Some ideas to consider:

  • What would it mean for you to be separated from your family?
  • Describe the hardships you and your family would face if you had to return to your country of origin to apply for a waiver to the 3 and 10 year bar?
  • What would the Family Unity Waiver (ability to have your waiver application processed in the US, allowing you to stay in your community) mean to you and your family?
  • How has the current immigration system impacted you and your family? Your community?
  • How are you involved in your community?
  • How do you think the immigration system should change to keep families together?
