Ms. Castillo is a Venezuelan attorney and holds a Masters in US Legal Studies and a Certificate in Human Rights from the University of Connecticut School of Law.  She most recently worked at the International Institute of Connecticut in Hartford as an Immigration Specialist.  In this capacity she worked to process naturalization, and adjustment of status cases, fiancé, marriage and family-based visas, renewal of green cards, and many other types of immigration cases.
Ms. Castillo brings a great deal of experience to our legal assistance at FaithAction, along with tremendous passion for immigrant rights and integration.  Please welcome Marina to our region as she works to assist our new neighbors and bring our community closer together.

 

A Message from our Immigrant Assistance Center Director:

“As the new Immigrant Assistance Center Director I am very excited about all the challenges and opportunities this position brings to my life.  Being a recent immigrant myself, I deeply understand the needs of immigrant communities, and will bring all of my experience and heart to assist our new neighbors in any way possible.  I look forward to contributing and adding to the magnificent work FaithAction International House has been doing all these years.”

-Marina Castillo-Gomez
