Local.Global.Nevada (L.G.N)
L.G.N stands for Local.Global Nevada.
Earlier Diplochatz, it is Northern Nevada International Center's (NNIC) rebranded podcast show. We are creating interactive interview-based audio-visual content that highlight the impact of NNIC locally and around the world.
Local. Global. Nevada is NNIC's voice to the community. It is a human-centered podcast that brings international, immigrant and refugee stories to the forefront. It is aimed to explain how global events shape Northern Nevada, and foster (encourage) dialogue that builds trust across cultures. Amplifying local voices weaving in global perspectives, the podcast serves as a bridge of diplomacy, connection, and understanding. We ensure that when new Nevadans thrive, our community is stronger. We talk about the work NNIC is doing, bringing in experts to break down complex global issues and the U.S. policies, and explain how it affects Northern Nevada.
L.G.N is hosted by Yulia Rajeh, Marketing and Strategic Communication Specialist for NNIC. New L.G.N episodes will be out every two weeks. To learn more about the Northern Nevada International Center you can visit our website www.nnic.org

L.G.N Ep_6: The Waiting Game: Family Reunification Process. Legal Perspective
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 6 of Local. Global. Nevada., I sit down with immigration legal represntative Annie Allen to talk about what many immigrant families experience when trying to reunite with their significant others. In this conversation, we focus on the legal side of family reunification: how the process works, who is eligible to petition for family members, and why waiting times and visa backlogs can keep families separated for years. Annie also shares insights into some of the most common challenges families face while navigating the immigration system and explains why it is so important to work with qualified immigration attorneys or accredited representatives. We also discuss the risks of relying on unauthorized practitioners and how families can better protect themselves while going through this complex process. My goal for this episode is to help make the legal framework of family reunification clearer and more accessible for anyone trying to understand how these systems affect real families.
