Tip
Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that many people are often surprised by things they didn’t know or fully understand. I can’t stress this enough—do your research. Don’t rely solely on lawyers or opinions; take the time to educate yourself and verify the information you receive.
The Bible says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6), and that couldn’t be more true. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to important matters like immigration. Staying informed can help you avoid scams, unnecessary delays, and costly mistakes.
Take the initiative, do your due diligence, and equip yourself with the right information so you can navigate the process with confidence.

My first international trip
I received my Green Card in February 2015, and I just returned from a wonderful 7-day trip to the Caribbean. Everything went smoothly! Coming back through JFK, the officer took my picture and asked for my passport and Green Card. After that, he welcomed me back with a smile! 🙌
i very happy and fun
