Thousands of pastors, missionaries, and religious workers are at risk of forced departure from the U.S. due to a policy change that collapsed the EB-4 visa category and created massive green card delays. If you’re a person of faith, a community leader, or simply someone who believes in fairness — your voice is needed.

One of the key lawmakers who can make a difference is Representative Lauren Boebert (CO-03).

Use this guide to quickly and effectively contact Rep. Boebert and ask her to urge USCIS to expedite the case of Pastor Fuhri and others like him.

Step 1: Write a Personal, Respectful Letter or Email

You can use the sample below to get started. Personal stories make a bigger impact — feel free to modify it if you are part of a faith community or know someone affected.

Subject: Please Urge USCIS to Expedite Relief for Pastor Fuhri and Support Religious Worker Protection Dear Representative Boebert, I am writing as a concerned constituent and member of the faith community to urgently request that your office submit a formal inquiry to USCIS on behalf of Pastor Berron Fuhri and his family. Pastor Fuhri, a South African religious worker on an R-1 visa, has an approved I-360 but is unable to file his I-485 due to the EB-4 backlog caused by the 2023 policy change. Pastor Fuhri leads Journey Church Colorado, a congregation of over 5,000 members. His forced departure would cause: – Severe disruption to a major community institution – Humanitarian hardship for his U.S. citizen children – Financial loss and operational difficulty for the church I respectfully request that your office contact USCIS and urge them to consider an expedite request or case-specific protection for Pastor Fuhri based on: – Severe financial loss to a nonprofit religious organization – Urgent humanitarian concerns for his young U.S. citizen children – The critical role he plays in supporting a large faith community – U.S. government interest in protecting religious freedom In addition, please consider supporting the Religious Workforce Protection Act, which would allow religious workers to remain in the U.S. legally while awaiting their green card. Thank you for your leadership and for advocating for those who serve our churches and our communities with integrity and faith. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your City/Town] [Optional: Your Church or Organization] [Email or Phone, if you want to be contacted]
