- Some applicants and their families have found the process of registering with third party sponsors to be a time consuming and difficult process. Please know that we are available to help in completing required forms, explaining the steps to you, and acting as an advocate if you need additional assistance. If you wish to pay the established fee directly or through a fiscal intermediary, please contact Kari Ryan at (203) 846-9581, ext. 313 for rates.
