" We met the lawyer "

Today we went to talk to our lawyer about the I-751 filing to remove conditional status from my green card. We gave him all the paperwork we think he needed to file the form for me to be a permanent resident here. He said that we have good evidence and that they should accept what we have with no problem because my husband kept good records of everything and we have a happy marriage with one child, Sarah and another to be born soon. So he said there should be no problem and that we just have to wait for them to send me a time to go have my picture and finger prints taken. Then he said I can have my permanent status and next year I can apply to become a US citizen. So I will be very happy when all the immigration issues are finally completed and also my husband because it's so very expensive to pay for filing all the forms. Maybe by next year it can all be finished and I will tell you all that I am finally a citizen of the USA. I asked the lawyer about what I can do to sponsor my brother to come here and he looked it up on the USCIS web page and told us it takes a very long time to sponsor a brother. He told us they are still processing visa applications from 1985 and that they only approve 65,000 per year from the Philippines. So I was so sad to hear this news and don't know what to tell my family there but it seems like a waste to try to get a visa in that way. We can only pray and ask God for help to show us a way to help my family.
