Hi, my name is Nancy Whaley, and I am a 3L. I grew up in Cicero, IL on the West side of Chicago. I’m from a family of immigrants and a neighborhood of immigrants, and I’ve always had a love in my heart for the immigrant community. I’ve had great experiences externing with USCIS last year and working in the immigration clinic at Chicago-Kent. In the clinic, I was able to represent a client in immigration court, and she was granted asylum!

On a lighthearted note, I love the 80’s sitcom Perfect Strangers which follows an immigrant to the U.S. and his cultural misadventures: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090501/
