I've been on a five-month long hiatus. Happy 2010 everyone!
The second half of 2009 was eventful; my parents and I moved from New Orleans, La. to the Washington, D.C. area in mid-October. I spent the latter part of 2009 visiting family and friends in England and Ireland - loved it!
And came I back home to my first White Christmas. My mom loves the snow. Dad is indifferent. I need to learn how to drive in it!
I reached another milestone last year. The big news came in August 2009, when I received residency petition approvals for five of my six siblings. I submitted the petitions in May 2007, at the same time as my parents' petitions. The approvals, according to USCIS case processing times, were eight years earlier than expected. Viva! More on this soon.
I am currently working on my website IzIzWe - the place for immigrants.
"Izizwe" is the Ndebele/Zulu noun for "foreigners."
The site, which promises to be a lively gathering, was inspired by my desire to help, learn from and share immigration experiences with fellow migrants through an umbrella site.
I will keep you updated on its launch.
This blog is about my immigration journey - which began in the late-1990s - from Zimbabwe to the United States of America. I am sharing my experiences with the objective of helping individuals who, similarly to me, may find the immigration process impermeable. I am not an attorney and the contents of this blog do not constitute legal advice.
