REDWOOD CITY, Calif.   --- When a registered nurse struggles for over three years to obtain a green card, and yet her petition was denied and her work authorization revoked --- it feels like watching your dreams shatter right in front of you.   Such is the story of Beth Salapare, an RN who, like many others, dreamed of finding greener pastures in the USA.   However, when all her sacrifices and efforts seemed lost, her father, who regularly watched CITIZEN PINOY, urged her to consult with leading immigration attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel - one of the hosts of CITIZEN PINOY.   Tune in to find out how Salapare's problems were addressed.

Other topics on how to bring your immediate relatives to the US will be raised and discussed in this week's episode of CITIZEN PINOY .   An interesting topic on "House Calls" is how a son can bring his mother to the USA as an organ donor for the son, who needs a transplant badly.   In "Michael Matters" - Atty. Gurfinkel provides information on Visitor's visas for family to visit the U.S.   And those with expiring H1-B visas will find the phone patch question & answer portion very relevant.
