They're Finally Here!
2014-05-20
You can read my earlier blogs for the history: A week and a half ago, my fiance from Guangzhou and her son finally moved in with me, after we got our fiance visa and had a long-distance relationship for almost 2 years.
Everything is going really well now: her son had his first day in American school today. We got our marriage license Saturday and will marry this Thursday. After that, I can finally get them on my health, dental, and life insurance. Then, apply for the permanent resident status based on our marriage and also apply for a temporary work permit, pending the permanent resident status.
For now, she is a housewife, which does not suit her. She is good at it, but she is the type who has too many career goals to sit at home and be a housewife. Also, in this terrible American job market, where people are laid off all the time, it will be better if we are both working; more secure.
Wish us luck!
If someone has some tips on how to get a hot enough flame for proper Chinese stir fry on a typical American stove, please let me know!
Very well, Brittany, thanks for asking! We've been married more than 3 months now. Ivy wants another kid. I don't; we already have a 10 year old boy and a 2 year old girl; they keep us VERY busy.
Ivy just got her work permit and travel document from the US government. That means she can find a job now, and travel outside the US and they will let her back in. She will probably get a job with my company, which is also her old company.
Ivy is a career woman; she is kind of bored and depressed at home. The only thing that is keeping her sane is that she goes to yoga classes several times per week.
It is a happy ending for us who keep reading your post, thanks to sharing a lovely story with us ,and be considerate and cherish your wife and make her happy will be my only advice.
wish you all the best! things will settle and work out. The USA is a great place for active, energetic people
Congratulations. Cherish and enjoy the moment you are together.
Regarding to American stove, I don't know details. But if the flame is not enough. It's better to pre-boil vegetables and meat in pure hot water, one by one. Then, fry them together. I always use this way if the vegetable is too old.
