I sit looking outside at the snow. It is cold. I hate the cold. A feeling of unease drifts over me. I readjust myself in the chair. I am nervous. It is 4:30 p.m. It is time for my interview.
The secretary has already called back to the owner [...]

Sweet Bear was eating her dinner.  Correction.  Sweet Bear was stirring her dinner all up into one big blob of meat and mashed potatos. 
She looked up and declared that it was getting dark out.  Every night she takes it upon herself to let the family know that it is getting dark out and that it [...]

My mother had told me about a three bedroom apartment that is available near her home.  She had seen a sign advertising it on her way to work.  Vilay and I went to the complex to inquire about the three bedroom apartment.  My mother knew that it is an income based apartment.  If it wasn’t [...]

“I ove yu” when he is giving me baby love.
“Hi!” in greeting to all.
“Tank yu” as he hands me his plate after eating.E
“Uh-oh” each time he or anyone else drops something.
“Yeah” instead of “yes”.  Hey, he is American after all.  :)

I went over to my mother’s house today.  She filled the sponsor paperwork out and gave me her tax returns for the last three years to copy.  We have copied everything and will mail it all off Monday. 
At first I was nervous to be in my mother’s house.  We haven’t talked for five months.  It [...]

My mother called me and asked if she could sponsor Vilay.  We haven’t been on speaking terms.  However, we are family.

I have called a local immigration lawyer that was refered to me by the Dayton bar association.  My father is totally financially responsible for Vilay if he decides to sponsor Vilay.  However, I was told by the lawyer that they have never heard of this being enforced.  For example, if Vilay were in a car accident [...]

I talked to Catholic Community Services today.  I was told that my father would be totally responsible for Vilay even if he were in an accident.  I was, also, told that I could be declined as a sole sponsor due to my having not worked in the last three years even if I found a [...]

The good:
I had my interview.  It went well.  I will have another interview by phone and if that goes well one last face-to-face interview will be set up.
The bad:
We finally received the request for information in the mail today.  It is a request for my income to meet the 125 percent of the federal poverty [...]

I have an interview!  It would be for around $35000.00 per year.  I’m not going to get my hopes up until the interview.
I will only say that I do have a great chance of being hired due to my background.  It would be Monday-Friday.  And, I would be not only a manager but THE manager.
Wish me luck.
