How old were you when you moved to the United States?

I was 22.

I was 22 when I moved here.

Why'd you come here?

It's my husband's fault.

Haughalumberdino lives in California.

Works as a translator.

But she was born in Brazil, met her American husband, when he moved to South America to surf.

We hit it off and then six months later we got married.

Six months.

It's six months I know and it's like everybody was like, oh she's pregnant.

It's a shotgun wedding.

It was not.

My daughter was born six years later.

Yeah, we just love it first sight.

We were in the right place, right time in our lives and it worked.

And almost 19 years later, here we are.

Now they've got two kids.

Run their translation business together.

And the thing is, until the last few years, Haughalum was pretty set with her green card.

She could do almost everything a citizen could do, except for one or two things, like vote.

Which is how she found herself in a long line of cars a few months back, waiting on a drive-through naturalization ceremony.
