[Paphitis]

Today has been a very happy day for me and my family.

I just became a US Permanent Resident today with a fixed address in the USA under sponsorship by a US Firm. Have also been consulting a lawyer and am able to convert my residency to an immigrant Green card VISA and will start doing that soon with supporting documentation from my sponsor.

I completely love the USA and the American people. I always considered them to be the best people in the world and I don't say that lightly.

Can't wait for Coronavirus to be controlled and subside.

I currently feel like a very lucky man. Out of 16 guys this firm has extended offers of employment to, 12 offers have been revoked to 12 guys and 4 have been placed on temporary hold. I am 1 of the 4 fortunate guys.

Shit! Not even Corona could save my Brisbane holiday.

Seriously, congratulations.

.....and if Paphitis and his family eventually want to become US citizens, then the Naturalization ceremony is another experience altogether, in a large auditorium with 500+ fellow candidates all being sworn in at the same time, with thousands more as family members and friends attending the ceremony to witness the event.

It was a lot of fun and a moment of being very proud was my experience when I had mine. Still gives me goosebumps.

Good luck Paphitis and family.

Do you think we’ll get an invite? Given how he’s let me down on the Brisbane thing.

What happened in Brisbane or did not happen as the case may be?

The earliest he can have his Naturalization ceremony would be 6 years away, so if you are nice to him, why not!

Just a joke. I was threatening to go there on my recent Aus trip, or some time in the future. It’s a lovely place actually.

At the moment I’m sorta working to a 6 week timescale. 6 years would be nice.

Me let you down?

You know you are free to contact me and make yourself feel at home at my place whenever you like in Brisbane, Adelaide or New York/Chicago (because I still don't know where I will end up at the end of it). Same goes for kikapu.

Or do you guys need a formal invitation?

Could we stitch that together. Make it a sort of Paphitis “tour”.

Yes it's a long journey but it's possible. the only reason why my sponsor didn't apply for immigrant is because it's a lengthy process and a lot more involved but now that I have the non-immigrant Visa, going over to immigrant Green card is a much simpler process but you still got to wait for 5 years for the citizenship. Plus the extra year by the time your are sworn in.

The way things are going I might be touring my dad's village in Paphos to escape Coronavirus.

I won't be escaping Corona Beers though.
