Introducing Status Pending: Immigration Journeys

There’s a line we hear when people talk about immigration. A phrase that’s repeated over and over: “Do it the right way.”

But what does that mean? And what’s the “right way” in a time like this, when the rules seem to always be changing?

On Status Pending, we’ll break down the different ways people come to this country, the hurdles that have existed for years, and the new ones people are facing in real time.

The limited run series starts November 12th, with new episodes each Wednesday.

Status Pending is produced by Jimmy Gutierrez, Emily Files, Audrey Nowakowski, Xcaret Nuñez, Katherine Kokal, Maria Peralta-Arellano, Valeria Navarro-Villegas and Samia Saeed. Editorial support from Ann-Elise Henzl and Michelle Maternowski. Design support from Erin Bagatta.
