We Are
Eye of An Immigrant

Elevating voices, funding pathways to citizenship, fostering a welcoming community.

Our History

Established in 2020 as a storytelling campaign by Komalpreet Kaur during her junior year of high school, Eye of an Immigrant originally aimed to share immigrant stories in Kansas City. Evolving into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission expanded to support families throughout their entire immigration legal process. Through compelling podcasts and blogs, we strive to elevate immigrant voices, while also actively addressing the financial barriers by funding USCIS filing fees, ensuring a legal pathway to citizenship. At the heart of our vision is the commitment to creating a welcoming community where immigrants feel empowered and embraced.

"They have no idea what it's like
to lose home at the risk of
never finding home again
to have your entire life
split between two lands and
become the bridge between two countries"
