Hello everyone. I am Gary and my wife is Zai. I live in Houston and she is in Samar. I'm looking for other Phil/Am couples (and other friends), hopefully some near Houston, so that whenever Zai and my new son finally get here she can at least have a few friends from her homeland to talk to. I know the adjustment will not be easy for them. We are just starting our immigration process (NOA1 stage) so we have a long way to go still but are confident that everything will go quickly. Add me as a friend or drop me a message if you like. I am looking forward to meeting others who are either going through the same process as we are and also you veterans who have "been there/done that" already.
