Dear People of God,

Good morning. I am very sad to let you all know that I have to leave our beautiful country due to the expiry of my R1-Visa and the sudden denial of my green card application. My green card application was denied due to recent changes in policy of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Since my green card application has been denied, it’s dependent on my “work permit” (EAD) is also automatically invalid. So, the Diocese of Lacrosse can no longer employ me. So, I am leaving for India on 16th September.
