My life as a scrapbooking mother
Getting ready :)
|
As you might have noticed, I'm not American, I'm Dominican, and for me to be able to live`and work in the US, i need a "green card". We applied for it about a year ago, thinking we'll be here a bit longer, but after my husband's kidney situation, our return became more of a necessity. Well, we've been busy trying to speed it up, with a lawyer in the States, letters to people that could do something, and lots of prayer...And it worked! now I'm getting ready for the interview...Which included a medical exam. I had heard that people that do the exam were very rude, but I'm happy to say that everyone that did stuff to me (I'm a pincushion) was very pleasant. I guess it depends on you, for people tend to mirror your attitude, so if you come expecting the worst, that's what you'll get. Being a Christian, we are called to love everyone, doesn't matter if they love us back, so i try to "get in their shoes" when someone is less than nice with me (it's not easy, let me tell you, but I'm getting better at it every day)...Anyway, after months of sending papers after papers, and filling out probably a thousand forms, we got a letter saying to go get some package at the Consulate in Santo Domingo...That was last week, and the medical thing was yesterday. I got two vaccines, an X-ray, a full physical, blood drawn. My right arm still hurts...I told my husband that if he ever doubted of my love for him, to think of this day...We got there at 7am, left at 12 noon...We'll be spending Thanksgiving here, it looks like,probably going to the interview on the 27th, to see if we can leave by the 3rd of December.We are still praying about it, so please do so too.
Blessings,
Julie
