"SECRET MARRIAGE" Almost
Bans Filipina for Life,
on this Sunday's CITIZEN PINOY
SECRET MARRIAGE; REAL PROBLEMS :
Lala Serdenia (2d from left) was petitioned as "single"
by her mother, Eleanor Ritter (left), but later "secretly"
got married. The Embassy discovered the marriage
contract and she faced a lifetime ban. Find out how
she was still able to get her green card, on the next episode
of Citizen Pinoy, hosted by Atty. Michael J. Gurfinkel (2d
from right) and Gel Santos-Relos (right), airing this Sunday
at 6 pm (PST) on TFC .
REDWOOD CITY, CA. --- After waiting for 16 years, Lala
Serdenia went to her interview at the US Embassy in Manila.
She was denied. Lala Serdenia was petitioned
by her mother in 1991. In 1990, six of her siblings
immigrated to the US, but since Lala has already aged out,
she was left behind. Life went on for Lala in the
Philippines. She fell in love, got pregnant, and
had a child with her boyfriend in college.
Some hasty decisions and hearsay, including certain declarations
in her documents deemed "fraudulent" by the U.S. Embassy,
eventually led to the refusal of Lala's immigrant visa application.
Listen to Lala's long journey, her trials, and eventually
her triumph - on this Sunday's brand new episode of CITIZEN
PINOY!
