I am pleased to announce....

(Drum roll please!)

I am officially a resident of the EU! Wooo-hooo!

Well, I should say my residency has been approved. I gave them my finger prints the other day...my tarjeta will be ready in about 3 weeks (unfortunately not in time for MMs party )

Maybe I´ll have a party to celebrate and invite you all virtually!

Chica/Becky,

¡¡¡ENHORABUENA!!!/CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Have a nice trip to Philly!,
See you soon,
Your friend,

Paloma

Congratulations! Woohoo!

I must say that after I got my residency card in October, it was nice to be able to whip the blue card out in response to "DNI?" when I was buying something and not have people peer uncomprehendingly at my California driver's license. ;-)

It's still a bit of a marker, though... everyone else has pink cards...

Fantastic !!! Congratulations Chica!

awww...shucks...

THANKS GUYS!

P.S. LIM, it´s kinda funny when I would pull out my USA passport since everyone here assumes that I am Latin American.

According to your esposo, I thought everyone there just assumed you were crazy...what a relief for you to instead be confused for a sudamericana! :p

Hah!

I got you all beat! I can move to Spain and all I need is an updated shot record, and a license - And they say it's a dog's life! Hah!

Chica,

Congrats! Now you can enjoy the new home without worrying about someone from the Spanish equivalent of the INS showing up at your door and telling you there's enough room for you on a flight to Cleveland! Gawd! That would be horrible!

Wolf (Apologizing in advance to anyone on the board who figures Cleveland is a place that shouldn't be used as a nuclear waste site - )

Congratulations, Chica!

When you arrive in the States to visit your folks, if you have the chance...you should check out a Pinoy-American movie I just returned from this evening....it is called "the Debut". It may not be in Philly, then again, they could get there...it is an independent film

Check it out! Have a safe trip...

Wendy
