Moving to United States
Moving to united States The most memorable event in my life was when we moved out from Russia to a hoidenish that changes lives and is turn inn as a dream land c e rattling last(predicate)ed the join States of America. When we sit down on the airplane that was going to state of ward the United States in August of 2004, we knew our lives are going to be changed in the way we always wanted them to. afterwardward twelve age of non going to drill and being discriminated by Russian citizens, this travel to a new country was the most amazing, non just in my life gener aloney, but for my entire family as well.The war started in Kabul, Afghanistan in July of 1994 moving to Russia was the just now quality for my family to be rock-steady even though we knew we would face a lot of difficulties. I was only four twenty-four hour periods old when my baffle and my stick took me the youngest in the family at that cadence, threesome of my brothers, and two of my sisters to capit al of the Russian Federation, Russia. On our way to the train that was going toward Russia, we addled my fourteen year old brother.This accident almost stopped us from moving out from the country, but my novice made the right choice either to look for his illogical son or lose all of us, so we had to move on. When we finally arrived to Moscow, Russia in August of 1994, we did non go for any m championy or a coiffure to stay. My father remembered that he had a booster rocket who had been living in Russia for twenty days already maybe he could help us out for now to uprise a place to stay. He thinked him within three hours of our presence to Moscow and asked him if he could come and help us out.After an hour, he arrived, and he took us to his house and he was precise happy of meeting my father after twenty years. We stayed at his house for three months. Four months later my father borrowed some money from his friend, and we opened our small business where we were selling l ather jackets just to make some salmagundi of money to eat and stomach the rent. Nine months later, my father tried to take us to school, but they did non accept us because we did not have any software documentation that would forget us to go to school because we were illegal in the country.It was very large(p) and difficult for our father to see us not going to school and not getting the education that we needed for our futures we even barely could go outside because of the citizens of that country would discriminate you and judge you by your peel off color. matchless day my father went to the immigration concentrate in Moscow and asked them if we could hold up for citizenship or some kind of documentation that would allow his children to go to school. The Russian immigration center denied the request at the time because of some hole-and-corner(a) reason that they did not want to tell my father.Five years passed and we still could not go to public schools or be legal in the country. My father tried it again and the Russian immigration center gives us the documentation that would allow us to live in the country but it did not allow us to go to school. Then one morning my honest-to-god brother talked to my father, and he claimed that he does not want to live in Russia anymore without education and that he wants to move to Holland with his friends. My father was very debate and at the same time lost that he is right for how hanker are we going to be living like this.After three years of my brothers moving to Holland, my father square offs to move to Sweden because that was the only country at that time that would accept immigrants and give them the right documentation to live in the country. It was very difficult for him to leave us in the country where the danger was somewhat us incessantlyy day, but he knew he must do something for his children to be able to go to school and live like the mean(prenominal) children do. In August of 1999 he arr ived in Sweden, and the Swedish immigration center gave him temporary documentation to live in the country legally until they decide if he is eligible for citizenship.Very excited and happy our father called us and told us that he got the documentation to be legal in the country of Sweden. When we comprehend that, we thought we going to move to Sweden very soon and that we going to be together, but the Swedish immigration center asked us to wait a couple of years then we might move in. We waited two years and nothing happened, our father was very sad and confused about what he could do now. At the same time, he knew there was nothing he could do it was all up to the immigration center of Sweden to decide our future.Then one day, it was our Holliday called Eid, my mother had her friend with her children over at our house to have a dinner with us, and she told her that they are about to move to United States the next month. My mother was very happy and excited for her friend and aske d her how she did it. My mother told her that my fathers had been in Sweden for five years now and still nothing was happening. My mothers friend told her she needed to apply at the United States immigration center that was find in Moscow and try to see if we would get accepted.Then the next day January of 2004 my mother and I went to the United States immigration center, and we applied for the permanent conformation ship to any state. After two months, we received a call from the United States immigration center that we are scheduled for an reference we all were very excited and happy that we might move to United States, to a country that is known as the dream land and freedom. When we give our interview the person who was interviewing us asked us why we wanted to go to the United States.The answer was very simple to all of my family it was education, freedom from being discriminated because of your skin color, and just to live in peace. After our interview, he told us, I pass on see you guys in America That moment was one of the best moments in my live and I do not think I could ever forget it. We all cried, and he told us it will take three months for them to do our paper work. When we received our plane tickets to New York, we were amazed and very excited about moving to a country where we never imagined moving in to. It was Sunday morning when we arrived in New York City outside(a) Airport.It was very hard for us to believe that this was really happening to us we were in America, a place where no one hates you, a place where they will allow you to go to school, and you can be who you are. Our lives changed after arriving in San Diego California, good things started to happen in with us. When we arrived here, there was a very kind man at the airport who met us. He introduced himself as our case worker. We did not know what a case worker really meant, but what we did know that he was the only person who could help us.That very kind gentleman who was our case worker took us to school and got us an apartment. Two years later we found our brother after thirteen years who got lost at the time of our moving from Afghanistan. People have been saying that the United States of America can change peoples lives, and they were right. It changed our lives, and it is a considerable country where everything is possible if you try. My entire family and I always had hope in our hearts we knew nothing can be done if you do not try and if you do not have hope for a divulge future.
