Like many immigrants, Godwin Ajala came to America in order to help support his family back home in Nigeria, where he had a wife and three small children. He was a lawyer in Nigeria, and was studying to pass the U.S. bar exam. "All his ambition is just to become a lawyer in the United States," his friend Christopher Iwuanyanwu says, and Mr. Ajala spent much of his free time either studying, or reading. Mr. Ajala had planned to pass the bar, have his family come over for his swearing-in as an attorney, and then apply for U.S. citizenship this year.
