My wife is from the Philippines. She came to this country almost six years ago on an alien fiance visa. We met online almost two years before that. Now, after marriage and two kids, she is going to take the oath tomorrow as a U.S. citizen. Everything for us seems to happen on or around holidays: she arrives in the U.S. on Easter weekend, we married the day before Pentecost, our first daughter was born Thanksgiving Day, our second was born St. Patrick's Day, and my wife becomes a citizen on Valentine's Day. The pattern continues.
