Outstanding! Congratulations! May I ask where you're from? Care to tell us a bit about your saga? I know those are personal questions...you're obviously within your rights not to answer.
I have no secrets from fellow Freepers. I am originally from Russia. I emigrated to Israel in 1992 and was invited to work here. I then adjusted my status to permanent residency and after 5 years (the waiting period)applied for citizenship. And now I am one proud American! I have lived in Texas 15 years. Legally. My son was 10 when we arrived and did not speak a word of English. He learned English, finished school an A-grade student and joined UH. He has graduated and is gainfully employed now. I have paid my taxes, my medical bills, my son’s tuition. Have never begged for government handouts. Now I am a red-blooded American and even bought my first little house here. I love this country and its people (’xept the lefties, have had enough of them back in the old commie country). Has been a Freeper for many years.This is my saga in a nutshell. Love you, guys! Thanks for the Kudos!
