You know, sometimes it's tough about something that just really, really gobsmacks you and just knocks you out, basically incapacitates you for three or four days.

When it turns out in the end, no permanent damage was done.

No one was killed in my family.

No one was crippled or maimed or hurt, but we got hurt pretty badly over the last several days, so I thought we'd tell you about it.

Hi, everybody.

I'm Bill Wittle here with Steve Green and Scott Ott.

And for those of you who may be new to this channel or me or whatever, in 2016, I met and

married a Russian woman who I love very much, my wife, Natasha.

We did everything the way that we're supposed to do things.

She came here on a tourist visa.

We met, fell in love.

I asked her to marry me.

Once she was here, we immediately went to U.S. Customs, hired an immigration attorney.

We made the application for the permanent resident card, the so-called green card.

We had to prove that we were still together, that we were, in fact, an actual couple,

that this wasn't something that was done for, you know, financial reasons. We showed photographs of

us over the course of the previous six months. We did an awful lot of money and a lot of a lot of time.

An official at Customs said, I believe you, we're going to issue your temporary green card. And after a year or two,

whatever it was, that became a permanent green card. And then we went through a period of a one-year

wait, which was mandatory. Then we began the process of her becoming a U.S. citizen. And she

was getting 100 out of 100 on the citizenship test and became a U.S. citizen in May of 2022. So far so good.

When Natasha first came to America shortly after, we applied for her daughter, went to the U.S.
