The goal of First Generation is to inform the general population of the United States about the process that each immigrant/visa holder has to go through. With the amount of misinformation circulating around, we would like to get the facts, as objectively as possible, straight to the American people, as well as potential or current immigrants.
Each episode we invite a new guest who shares their unique story and discusses a specific process they had to go through.
