A proud day for me and my family.

The 'other' green cardToday in the post I received my permanent resident card which officially makes me a green card holder. I must admit to you I sat at the table and my eyes started welling. Its a proud moment for me personally and for my family, to be permanent, accepted, and kind of adopted fixtures of this country. A dream truly realized to be honest. I also know that nothing will make us prouder than to apply for citizenship several years from now so that we will have what out little girl already has – citzenship from two great countries – to hold dual citizenship. In this modern age, America takes its fair share of flack from the rest of the world, to me though, it has always been and will always be my other home. I love it dearly. Today I get to call it permanent.

    Congratulations. Welcome to the US as a resident alien and looking forward to you becoming a citizen.
