Trick or Treat
No, I am not mixing up holidays accidentally. I know that today is the 4th of July and not Halloween. Unfortunately I can’t be in my new home country to celebrate, today! But I will be there on Halloween this year. Right now we are busy planing our next trip to the US. Finally after weeks of struggle, Flo’s boss accepted his application for some off days and now we are looking for flights. We will fly to Orange County, California, again not only because we love it there, but because we want to move there in January and have to get a lot of things done. but let’s leave this part to one of my next posts.
Right now I am much more excited that I will be in the US for Halloween. Halloween is one of my favourite holidays, because I love spooky stuff and dressing up. Our friends plan to take us to a Halloween hunt at a amusement park called Knott’s Berry Farm. I am not very pleased about that, but I think I will have to fit in with the traditions in my new home country!
But more scared than of that Halloween hunt, I am of the officers at the airport. Last time we went to the US our Visa expired a week later. The officer was nice, but made a joke about that. This year it is the same! Due to our work and the wedding we will enter the US last minute again. I hope this won’t make any problems. For all of you who don’t know: As a Greencard winner you have to enter the US every six months minimum. You practically are also allowed to leave the US for up to 12 months, but in this case the officers at the airport are in charge to decide, if they take your Greencard or not! (FYI: These are just the basic facts, we will talk about it another time)
I hope that this year’s entry will be as easy as last one’s, but I am afraid that the officer might give us a little Halloween scare and will “trick” us!
