The Immigration Journey Has Begun....

     We have started the long trail of paper work for my immigration process. At the end of which I will have my green card, and be able to work, and my permanent residence, which will allow me to live here. I thought I would post the checklist on here of what all we have to get together and send in. This does not include the forms we have to fill out, etc... just the titles of the forms.
