‘I became lawyer to bring mom back after deportation’ – Daughter fulfills promise.

An American immigration lawyer has shared the emotional journey of reuniting her family and fulfilling a vow she made years ago—helping her mother become a U.S. citizen after being deported.

The lawyer, known on TikTok as @leliathelawyer, celebrated the significant moment by posting a heartfelt video taken at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the clip, she is seen joyfully waving small American flags alongside her mother and another loved one as they mark her mother’s new status as a U.S. citizen.

Reflecting on the experience, she recalled the promise that inspired her career.

“When my mom was deported, I promised her that I will become a lawyer and bring her back. Today, she is a US citizen!” she wrote in the caption of her video.

She explained that her mother’s deportation not only tore their family apart but also gave her a sense of purpose.

“Bringing my mom back after deportation was the reason I became a lawyer. Deportation separated my family and I fixed it by filing for her green card and then U.S. citizenship,” she added.

The lawyer’s story has since resonated with many online, highlighting both the emotional toll of immigration challenges and the power of determination in the face of adversity.

Amazing story.
Please keep this news far away from DONALD J. TRUMP before you see your mom on a second and permanent deportation.

Congratulations to her.and her family.

Cool. If you like continue talking about JAPADA. Those who have experienced saner climes know how “satisfying “ it is and wouldn’t want to trade it for anything in the world

Go to your country, America should breath

Everything is possible if you believe and work hard and smart.

While some mothers are terrible

Japada crew and their APC propaganda paymasters in the mud again

See as people dey fight for us citizenship if na Nigeria who wan remain na to run to another country even Ghana

kini big deal ?

any immigration lawyer could have done the filling for her mother ..
it's like she is implying one has to buy a cow to get milk - nah, that is like killing a fly with a sledge hammer ....
as long as the daughter is a citizen- above 21 yrs old and earning enough to cater for her mom
The mom by law - based on the above premise - is entitled to permanent residence and later citizenship...


so, her mom was not granted a green card because her daughter is a lawyer -
even if she was a hair stylist or a delivery van operator - her mom will still get it
she was granted a green card and later citizenship because the mom qualified by her daughter's immigration status

naija always trying to make sensational news out of nothing .... abeg shift jioor

Hmmm

Superb.

are they Nigerians?
