Salma’s husband Payam had been waiting years for his visa application to be processed. I’m so glad our office was able to help secure a visa and reunite this family, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. Salma and Payam, congratulations on your newborn. Enjoy every moment!

Last night after several months of being apart from my husband while being pregnant in the most uncertain and harsh times, we reunited and got to embrace each other one more time. Our newborn baby took his first glance at his daddy and made a smile that melted our hearts.
