My cousin plans to become an immigrant in this country, but she’s still trying to adapt to the culture here. It’s true that the changes she’ll need to do can be overwhelming at first, but it may help if I assist her in understanding our ways. I think I’ll also hire an attorney to help her with the paperwork so she’ll become a legal immigrant faster.

Thanks for writing this. I am a native born American who has never lived abroad (just traveled, which is very different), and I stumbled upon this post while searching around for how I can be the best support to my brother & sister in law who just immigrated to the US about 6 months ago from Belarus. There are very few resources out there that I’ve been able to find that talk about how to help someone just as a friend – but reading your perspective here was super helpful. I’m very touched by what you said about being humble and grateful for the welcome this country is giving. I’m not sure I’d be strong enough to feel that way if I moved to a new country and this is very admirable, and probably hard at times. Thanks again for this thoughtful and honest post. Now I’ll also check out some of your recipes!

Hi Kelly! Thanks for your comments. That is so exciting about getting their visas! It is definitely a stressful process and takes a lot of patience, but it will be worth it in the end! Good luck 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing this post, Charbel 🙂 We are in the process of getting visas for my husband and two stepsons (moving from Peru to the US) so this is invaluable information for them. I was so pleased to see that you have it available in Spanish too!

This post is awesome and I’m so glad I found it on Pinterest.
Like TINEKE I am from New Zealand – although I have lived here my whole life. In a few years after marriage and I’m done with studying we are looking at moving over seas… Maybe to the USA or somewhere in Asia. I am an ESL teacher and it’s so, so important to meet people and practise speaking the local language.

I’ve tried to learn languages online and alone at home and it’s so hard. Definitely speaking with the locals helps.

Your post made me grin – even as a native speaker I feel like I make mistakes too and get blank looks from people who don’t understand me sometimes!

Thanks for the great post. I look forward to reading more.

What a story! Thank you for sharing with me. Adjusting can definitely be difficult, but it is so important. I also think its important to cherish and remember your roots, even after you have adjusted. Thank so much again or your comment!
