This morning was wonderful, I drove to Omaha for an immigration interview with a client. He came here on a visitor visa with his mom when he was only about 2-3 years old and never left. His dad (a permanent resident) filed for him to become a resident about 7 years ago and now a visa is available. The fun part is they thought he had to go back to Mexico and try to go through the consulate - a complicated procedure with no guarantee he would be allowed back in- but when they came to me for help, I knew a way that he didn't need to do that. Today, at 22 years old and a college student wanting to become a middle school math teacher, my client became a lawful permanent resident. His parents were both there for the interview. They were all SOOOO nervous, which made it even more joyful when he got the approval. He is a great kid. Never been in trouble, smart, wants to do good things with his life. Now he can. This makes all the craziness and the insanity worth while.
