Learn More About the Immigrant Experience Through My Lens
Hi, I’m Omar, and I created Cultura Conexión because I feel compelled to share my story—not only for me, but also because I believe that if my experiences can make a difference in someone else’s life, I should share them.
Through vivid storytelling and practical advice, my goal is to offer the knowledge I’ve gained as a young immigrant—someone who navigated life in the United States with legal status, only to lose it as I grew older. I want to help others facing similar challenges, providing insights and support along the way.
Tips, advice, and more
What you need and how to acquire it
Being an immigrant is tricky. It adds layers of bureaucracy that are extremely hard to navigate on your own. Did you know you can get a passport from your home country without having to leave the U.S.? Or that you can get a legal state identification such as a driver’s license? You can even get a job while being undocumented and pay taxes!
Personal experiences
Get to know my story
I had a visa then lost it due to turning 21, bummer I know. Now I am 25 and am still undocumented in the U.S. but was able to graduate college with no debt (thanks mom) and get a job in my field. I have my own card, credit cards, and live on my own. Get to know me more to find out how you can also live your life to its fullest extent!
