Wow a lot has happened since I last posted. Tomorrow my little Lia turns one! Sofia is in kindergarten and has just stareted to read. My hubby got his CDL and I have been very busy working for the Lord! :)
On the morning of Christmas eve I was researching about the U visa. My mom applied back in July 2014 and it looked like she could petition for me! That was a very emotional day and I spent the majority of it crying tears of joy. I know I got ahead of myself but this was huge! The U visa is a non immigrant humanitarian visa for victims of domestic violence.
Well that following Monday I called my moms lawyer and she said that due to age restrictions my mom could not petition for me BUT I could apply for myself! Praise the Lord he heard all of my prayers and has opened a door that I thought could not be opened for at least another 6 years! We sent the certification to the police to sign. I needed there signature before I could apply for the visa and that alone could easily take a couple of months. Well God once again heard my fervent prayers and they signed in just 1.5 weeks!!!
Right now I am working with my attorney to gather all of the information to fill out the forms and send them in to apply for my visa! I am still in schock that this is even happening! My lawyer says that if I all goes I could be home in around one year! Of course with immigration nothing is ever certain, it could be sooner, it could be longer, but God will make it happen when it should because his timing is perfect!
All I can say is praise the Lord! If we are faithful to him he will give us the desires of our heart! I am so happy at the thought of being with my family again and I feel so confident this time around because God is on my side and if God is for us, who can be against us?
Never loose hope and have faith, work hard, be persistent! God brought us here to find him, to bring us closer to him, and to prepare us for what's to come. I am just full of love and happiness now because God is with me. And in the end if something were to happen and this falls thru, glory be to God. Only he knows what the future holds and I have faith that he will lead us right where we need to be! May you all have a blessed day! :)
