REDWOOD CITY, CA. --- How long would you be willing to wait to fulfill a lifelong dream?   On the upcoming episode of CITIZEN PINOY on Sunday, March 4 , you will hear the story of Carmela Calimlim, who waited patiently for 10 years for her mother's petition to come through.   She remained single because that was one of the requirements.   And when she went to the US Embassy in Manila for her visa, she was startled with the news that she had to wait another five to seven years more! Why?   Because her mother decided to become a US citizen!  

Ordinarily, one would think that being a US citizen would fast track a petition and make the wait shorter.   Apparently, not in this case.   Find out how Carmela was able to "take advantage" of the provisions of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) to avoid the additional wait and finally realize her dream of being with her aging parents, who really needed her by their side.   This is the featured story on CITIZEN PINOY this Sunday.   Listen as "attorney of last hope" MICHAEL J. GURFINKEL and TV personality GEL SANTOS-RELOS discuss this very important immigration law.   Who knows, you or somebody you know could benefit from the lessons that Carmela and her family also learned from this experience.

Of course, the show is also filled with other relevant information and answers to your immigration questions, in addition to prizes and gifts to lucky audience participants.

CITIZEN PINOY is made possible with the help of Asian Journal, Seafood City Supermarket, and Chow King.   It is also backed by the support of ABS-CBN Global's key product offerings (Star Kargo, Starry Starry Store, ABS-CBNnow, Sarimanok One and TFCDirect). Indeed, the added support of the show's new sponsors manifests the growing popularity and the success of CITIZEN PINOY within the Filipino-American community.  

Viewers in Southern California will have the chance to be part of the studio audience and have their immigration concerns addressed.   CITIZEN PINOY invites you to their studio taping on Sunday, March 11, 2007 at the Glendale Studios, 1239 South Glendale Ave, Glendale CA 91205 .
