24 Sep 2024 Cooking Up a Green Card
Bhogz’s (left) culinary journey, from cooking his Nanay’s dinengdeng – a Filipino vegetable dish that originated from the Ilocos region in the Philippines – to being a head cook at Gerry’s Grill in Houston, Texas, showed his determination and the pursuit of opportunities. Starting as an intern, Bhogz’s passion for cooking led him through various kitchens until he found his place at Gerry’s Grill in Makati.
Rising through the ranks, his talents caught the eye of the company’s management, and he was chosen to manage the kitchen at the Houston branch.
Leading U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel (right) handled Bhogz’s I-140 petition, and in September 2023, the latter got his green card. He now eagerly anticipates bringing his wife and children to the U.S.
