I finally got my employment authorization card! I can finally get a job!
I'm so excited. I've been waiting for this moment since I was 16-years-old.
With that in mind -- who wants to hire an eager, personable and highly motivated award-winning, published writer?

The system works!
The system works! Yesterday, I got my interview appointment from the government!
For those not entangled in the fine workings of America's immigration system, this means that on February 28, Dan and I will be trooping down to Philly to meet with USCIS officials to prove that our relationship is on the up-and-up.
I'll be required to bring all sorts of paperwork as well as "proof" of our relationship such photographs, phone bills (to show just how much time we spent talking to one another while I lived in Orlando and he lived in PA), flight records and correspondence.
I'm both completely fine and incredibly nervous. Fine because Dan and I are obviously completely in love and committed to one another (you don't let your fiancee get away with calling you 'Pookie' in public unless you really, really love her) and nervous because I have no idea what to expect or how personal the questions will be.
If anyone has gone through the process or knows someone who has, PLEASE let me know. I'd appreciate any and all information.
Thanks guys and wish us luck!

Even when it was the bears, I knew it was the immigants!
Damn it.
I came here LEGALLY fourteen years ago.
My parents own two successful businesses.
I graduated high school with a 3.4 GPA.
I'm currently enrolled in the journalism program at the University of Central Florida where I have a 3.4 GPA.
According to visa regulations, I am not legally allowed to work in this country but when I was awarded $3000 for my writing, I still had to pay taxes on it. I wouldn't mind paying taxes...if I had a chance to work for my money like everyone else does.
I am a legal immigrant and I get the short end of the stick on a daily basis.
I am sick and tired of people championing the causes of illegal immigrants. I'm sorry if their situation is tragic, but you know what else is a tragedy?
A family that's been here for fourteen years, doing everything the legal way and still having nothing to show for it.
And in other news, I knew Pats fans were stupid, but this is just too much.
