EIIC Welcomes Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs to Woodside

NYC Immigrants Commissioner Faiza N. Ali and Neatric Norwood, Associate Director of Policy and Strategic Initiatives, met with the Emerald Isle Immigration Center team this week.

Executive Director Siobhan Dennehy shared EIIC’s history, which is deeply rooted in supporting immigrants through direct services, as well as its current focus on serving the diverse immigrant communities in Queens and the Bronx.

John A. Stahl, Esq., Director of Immigration Legal Services, spoke about EIIC’s citizenship and immigration legal program and citizenship classes, which have returned to a volunteer model following recent federal funding cuts. John also highlighted current legal trends, noting that some clients are fearful of continuing their pursuit of citizenship due to the shifting political and legal landscapes.

Commissioner Ali commended EIIC for its unwavering commitment to the immigrant community, noting that the organization is widely recognized as a deeply trusted partner.

Additionally, EIIC Board Treasurer Danny Dromm discussed the board and staff’s ongoing fundraising efforts, while emphasizing the challenges posed by federal funding cuts and delays in discretionary funding.

Commissioner Ali expressed her gratitude to the team for sharing these critical challenges and committed to following up with her staff on all the points discussed.

Immigration and Social Services

Thank you to our Emerald Isle Immigration Center family and friends who joined us last month for the New York Mets cultural celebration honoring the Irish in the New York community – an important part of New York City’s history and identity.

Our EIIC guests filled reserved rows and sections in sporting their limited-edition Irish Mets jersey. And we had a few visitors from folks in suites, guests of Mets management. 

It was lovely to have EIIC’s Niomi Sarete and Colman Finlay join us — they have both wrapped up their respective EIIC Social Services and J1 Graduate Ambassador internships and we miss them already! 

Shout out to our friends who went above and beyond to amplify the EIIC fundraiser and add to the camraderie! 

• Murphy’s Lawyer® | Live Music NYC who penned a special promo song and recorded it at Citi Field and collaborated with EIIC on social to engage the community. 

• St. Pat’s For All Parade 2026 and Irish American Writers Artists
for sharing our EIIC event with their communities. 

• New York Rose Of Tralee Center Ciara McGinty and family, and Siobhan McCourt, who all joined us just days after returning from Ireland. 

P.S. Just realized camaraderie — the noun that means a spirit of good friendship, mutual trust, and loyalty among members of a group who share a common experience or environment — ends with eire! Love that.

Let’s Go Mets!
