Recently, 21 Savage, whose legal name is She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, has cleared all legal hurdles since his detainment by ICE agents in Georgia ten days after his arrest. His attorney Charles Kuck announced the news on October 6th, stating that 21 Savage was now a lawful permanent resident of the United States with the freedom to travel internationally.
The British rapper first arrived in the United States with his mother at the age of 7, and has been living in the country for 19 years. In a 2019 interview with Good Morning America, he expressed his concern with the way immigration policy is enforced.
“I don’t think the policy is broken,” he said. “I feel like the way they enforce the policy is broken.”
To commemorate this milestone, 21 Savage posted a video to his Instagram account, featuring clips of his career and early childhood set to Skylar Grey’s Coming Home. The press release accompanying the video announced that the rapper would soon be performing in London. A few days later, 21 Savage made his first performance outside of the United States in Canada alongside his frequent collaborator, Drake.
According to the USCIS website, obtaining a visa can take a long time and involves many steps before a person is issued a visa or green card. 21 Savage was eligible for an adjustment of status, which means he was able to apply for permanent residency without needing to return to his home country. After paying the necessary fee, it usually takes up to three months for a permanent resident card to be issued.
Clearly, 21 Savage’s journey to becoming a lawful permanent resident in the United States was long and arduous, but his hard work has paid off. Congratulations to the rapper for this amazing accomplishment!
