Finally.
Instead of "we are processing your case" or "you are missing a very important document" or "this is what you need to do now", it said "Welcome to the United States of America".
Imagine that.
Then it goes on to say "It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to permanent resident status in the United States."
Ahh. Relief!
For the past 7 months I have felt almost unwelcome in this country. Everything was a hassle. If I left, I couldn't come back. I was not able to work. I could not have a bank account. Getting my Driver's license was a two hour ordeal and it kind of made me feel guilty and as if I wasn't supposed to be here.
Well not anymore! I have my green card and I am pretty much just the same as everyone else! I can't vote, but hey I'm too indecisive anyways.
This whole process has been incredibly frustrating. I am so glad it's over and now I'm job hunting.
My only dilemma now is that I can't decide if I should go for more responsible jobs, or just regular employee jobs. I want to go to school in the fall or take courses throughout the summer. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with my life anymore though. Art school is sounding very inviting right now
If you could pray for me in trying to make these decisions , I would love that.
Missing you all so much!
