So Natasha and Vika received their welcome letters today. It was a thrill, but to be honest I was quite bummed that the officer at the POE didn't welcome them when we arrived back in March. To quote Walter, the new greeter at Walmart (and bonus points if you know this reference), our officer welcomed Natasha & Vika into the United States like this (I'm paraphrasing): "Get your s**t and get out!".

Still, it's the thought that counts.

Like tax payers and their beneficiaries ever get any love. Wait til she becomes a public charge and see how welcome she is. "Right this way miss."

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

All true, but it's just the cliche of being officially welcomed.

Natasha and Vika received their green cards yesterday!
