Who is here after she got her residency??? So happy for her

[@georgias4239]

i haven’t been like keeping on top of all of this so please can you explain what’s going on? thank you

[@worldstop2512]

georgia s okay ,sure !! Jess and Gabriel got married in 2017 , Gabriel is American 🇺🇸 and Jess is Australian 🇦🇺. When they got married jess started to live in the US with Gabriel . The problem was that jess didn’t have her residency, her US residency . It means like she still doesn’t have the US passport and she cant go back to AUS . Not only aus , she couldn’t travel to any other countries , just around the USA area .

[@georgias4239]

World Stop oh okay thank you! that makes more sense now! i watched episode one of them going home but i didn’t fully understand what was going on. i wasn’t sure why everyone was so excited but i guess it’s just great for her to go back home. sorry to bother you but what’s the interview? thank you for your help.

[@thechildofgodpodcast116]

[@LifeasaMommy]

Hi Jess! I recently got my residency after being married to my husband for three years. I as well thought it would be much faster but it’s truly such a long process. When we finally got our interview I was so so nervous but honestly it was so easy and the guy that interviewed us was so nice so I immediately got approved and one month later received my green card in the mail. It was the best feeling in the world. I haven’t seen my mom for nearly 7 years and I am finally going to be able to go back home and see her with my two daughters ❤️ I’ll be praying for you and truly hope you’re able to get your card soon 😊 till then stay positive, God always has a plan 💜

My heart like really hurts for this sweet girl

[@DjKunra]

I'm going through this exact process right now. I'm an Australian citizen living in the U.S. and I'm so far from my family. I haven't seen any of your videos, but a friend of mine linked this to me because she watches you and said she cried because it made her think of me and everything I'm going through. I've lived out of home and overseas before, but it's just hard knowing you can't just go back to give your mum a hug. I'm lucky, too, that I have such a beautiful and supportive husband by my side every step and that my mum has the means to be able to visit. The process can feel so confusing and convoluted, and I totally understand the frustration with not knowing about the Advanced Parole, because I didn't know about that either until this video! I don't know if it's too late for me to apply for it, now but I really wish there was more information or someone to actually talk to about it, or someone to actually give you some tips and advice like "Hey gal, this is how this works, and did you know you can apply for this and be able to travel back home while working on your visa?" because that would be so amazing but there's almost nooothing. I've had my cries about it too, and it really does make you feel quite alone, not just because you're so far from everyone, but because it feels like you're flying blind through a storm. I want to make sure I'm doing everything right and everything I can to make it go faster, but there's pieces they don't even tell you that you have to do. Like my initial documents, nothing ever said I would need copies of my IDs and my birth certificate or a few extra forms, so I had to send those off later and it can be so confusing. I have no idea how long it's going to take, and you go in with the idea that you can just breeze through it because you have all your stuff together, only to find out you tooootally don't. At all haha Would so love to talk to any of you about it so we can give each other tips, or if you guys have any tips for me or somewhere or someone to talk to that could help, it'd be amazing to support each other and have someone who gets it to vent to. ♥

[@jillianlivsey8460]

Jess you're so unbelievably strong. I had a similar but very different experience where I was in a place far away from my home (not nearly as far as you) and I was not allowed to leave. When I was 15 I was sent away to rehab 500 miles away from home, against my will, for an eating disorder. I was still on the same continent and even in the same country but I couldn't leave the facility and so my parents visited me and it was so hard just being homesick so I totally understand that feeling. Also my parents would just cry when they visited and were having an extremely hard time trying to keep their lives the same there without me which your family is probably going through as well and so I felt the responsibility to be the strong one but I realized it didn't help me or anyone else so you have to look out for yourself too Jess. You are so strong and you'll get through this, I'm so sorry you have to deal with it but the dark times never last forever. You do not seem ungrateful at all, you seem homesick, you seem emotionally drained, and you seem sad, which are all completely understandable but not an ounce of you is ever ungrateful Jess.

THE TRUTH HAS NEVER BEEN MORE EVIDENT

[@DirtMoss]

Not sure why so many people are coming after Jess in the comments. Everyone has different struggles and hardships in life. The way they react to it is personal to them. Don’t compare her situation to other current events. She’s letting us know what’s going on, she’s not asking for pity, or pretending to be the first person to ever experience this. Let her live.

[@genxclaire]

It sucks to stay away from such a loving family, a place you have and always will call home. But at least that loving family and comforting husband will be by your side just as us subscribers will be. All is thru faith xx

[@brendanchwascinski2310]

Yes it is😊😊

[@ebbzeebabyy]

There's so many people commenting saying 'people have been away from their families longer or children have been separated from their parents' etc which is true but for Jess as she stated this is the worst SHE'S gone through. Telling other people while they're going through something that other people have had worse situations does absolutely nothing if someone has not experienced that before. Why do people always have to come back with well this this and this. I don't understand.

[@alyssatony3701]

[@nicolea5992]

Nah, she just needs a *big dose of perspective* to see that whats shes going through is not really a struggle. It's an inconvenience, not a "struggle". Ugh, white people want to be victims so badly.

Exactly! I have multiple autoimmune diseases and I’m ill and tired ALL.THE.TIME. But I have been told so many times, “At least you don’t have cancer.” Or “It could be worse, you could be alone and not have ANY support.” And while those things are true and I’m very grateful to not have a worse situation than I do, it doesn’t negate the fact that I struggle, A LOT. And it’s the worst that I know of or have experienced first hand so that is all I can base my feelings off of. People need to realize that it could always be worse, even someone who does have cancer might have it “better” than someone else. Jess still deserves compassion and I for one will be praying for her and her family.

[@MadisonTiahn]

Girl... you have nothing to be scared of. This does not come across ungrateful in the slightest. You are Australian and you will always be Australian. The fact that you can’t go home is so cruel. Hopefully the process is over as soon as possible. Much love beautiful girl. X

Many of my family members haven't met my husband yet but they're supportive and excited to finally meet him in the future. Be encouraged! This wont last forever. LOVE YOU GUYS ❤

[@alyssatony3701]

I don't understand why jess is "ungrateful" because she misses her family back home. she never said she doesn't appreciate what she has. Jess has nothing to do with what's happening with kids getting separated at the border, so I don't think it's right to compare her to them. Trying to tell Jess what you think she is or does doesn't make her want to be honest with you guys any more... Jess, I admire your faith and honesty so much. I can't imagine what it's like for you. I'm praying for you

[@bridgetbow3988]

I'm really glad you made this video because I know I am only experiencing a fraction of what you're feeling but I just moved in my dorm and I feel homesick and I miss my family. I feel really lonely here because I don't have a lot of friends here and I'm really conscious of the way I look and act. I feel like everyone here all look like college students, adapted here very well already, and made friends with people here already. I'm like the complete opposite and so antisocial.

Jess, my girlfriend and I are long distance and we actually met through social media. However, God has placed us where we are for a reason. She lives in Sweden and I live in the USA. Right now, we haven’t met yet but we are trusting God’s timing for when we will. This residency hasn’t happened for us yet either, however, I really needed this video because of your bible verse at the end. She and I have some little problems sometimes because of dumb things but it is 100x worse because of how far we are from each other, but we can’t let the devil win. I looked up Proverbs 3:5-6 in my Bible as I was praying and I read the verses before it too, Proverbs3:3-4. It talked about love, how we need to keep it strong and bind it in us. I really needed to hear that. I also prayed for you and Gabe, if you see this, thank you💕

The man at customs didn't like that we had to travel back and forth so much and ordered me to leave by a specific date. I never cried so much in my life, but we were able to overcome it! We still are doing long distance - it'll be 3 years this October! We can't wait till the day we get married and finish all the horrible applications etc. You got this girl!! :)

I even had to go to court and pledge they made me repeat bunch of stuff and then i gave me a certificate.

Once he finishes his law degree there, he plans on moving to the states and he’s been telling me a bit about the process and I’ve been like “ah yeah cool we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” but this truly opened my eyes in so many ways. To me and my ignorance to this knowledge and also to him and what a transition he’ll be making and the sacrifice to follow... thank you. You may think you were just speaking into thin air but I heard you. Loud and clear and I want to truly say thank you.

[@kezjacobs]

i'm gonna explain this for some of you guys who's probably wondering why we can't leave the country because it's pretty confusing 😂 there are A LOT of reasons why people go or even move to the US. it could be for education, work, married, etc. for me, I moved to the US 7 months ago because my mom got married with someone who's originally from here. I was a senior 7 months ago and I continued my study here. for some people who wants to go to US to pursue their education, they usually only use the student visa (i'm sure that you'll understand what I mean here). but for me, it's not only for education. I'm planning to have a life in the US since my mom got married with someone here. because of that, we need a thing called green card. once you have the green card, you're considered as a permanent resident (it's not a citizen yet but you'll have a lot of benefits from it). US is very strict about it and to get the green card, we have to get through a lot of hard process. it could take years and yeaaars like what Jess explained in this video. while we're in that process, they want us to stay in the US probably because it'll be a prove that we're serious about it and we're really gonna stay in the US. that's why people apply for a green card, because once they have a green card, they won't need the visa anymore. WOW that's long but I hope you can understand it and PLEASE pray for us!! ❤️

Praying for you Jess! I want to let you know that you are so courageous for making this video! You are so sweet, and have the love of God living in you! I love you guys.

[@mariadunton4760]

This doesn’t make you sound ungrateful or that it’s not a hard struggle at all. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be so far from my family. I’ll be praying for you and your family for God’s will and that he would give you guys strength. You’re so brave to put something so honest and personal out there. Love you guys! 💕

[@kimberlysilva873]

I love how Milo is being so silly behind Jess when this video is so sad but I think he was trying to cheer her up and us. Jess we all know you can get through this just try to be strong! Ilysm 💓

[@caroltassin4049]

No questions, just Prayers & good wishes that things happen quick for you & Gabe!

[@baileyswinford9972]

Jess, it hurts. So hard. I know. my situation is not the same, but I just moved very far from home today and I had to watch my parents and my sister, who is my best friend, get on an airplane knowing that i wouldn't get to see them for a month. And while i know i COULD go home whenever i wanted i have that feeling that i cant just quit something i may end up loving. :) i know you wont love your situation but look forward to the small things you do love. Lik for me thats face timing my family multiple times a day lol. I promise God will gift you this. I know in my heart that God would not keep someone so genuine in pain for too long. I love you and Gabe and i wish you the peace you need in your heart right now.

[@caitiejohanna7907]

[@avaschneider3944]

God’s timing is always perfect, beautiful Jess. everything will be okay. truly. i’m praying for you and your family, for your faith & for this process. you are such a strong woman of God and a human for going through this. everything that your going through is all part of God’s plan and it WILL be so, incredibly beneficial. you are so strong and everyone is rallying around you to keep you strong and motivated. we love you so much, Jess! ❤️

[@emmmybhs]

Hi Jess! I know you probably won't see this comment but if you do, know that you are not alone. My husband and I have been going through the same process... its so stressful on a marriage for sure and can be so hard waiting for so long. We have had so many ups and downs through this time in our lives, but it has made our relationship so much stronger. My husband finally got his residency card and we could not be more thrilled. I hope you get yours so soon! It is such a huge relief and wait off of our shoulders. I hope this brings you some comfort if you see this. :)

[@XuetingJoaan]

Omg! Congratulations! How long has you guys been waiting for? I have the same issue right here. I’m so afraid about the interview! Exactly the same situation as Jess. I miss my mom😭

[@tulipska]

Emily Fernandez Congrats!! ❤❤❤

[@emmmybhs]

[@emmmybhs]

Joaan Carrillo we have been waiting for over a year!

[@makeups18]

Thank you for being so honest and open! I think it is so important that social media influencers share their struggles, as it will help somebody going through something similar.

[@catestidd8626]

Awe poor girl!!! This makes me so sad. I hope that this works out for you Jess. You're such a sweet girl. I recently found your channel and I love watching all your videos! You and Gabe will get through this, always keep the faith. Going through the struggles in life only makes you stronger! I will 100% be praying for y'all and that you will have peace and faith through this!

[@bellamaria2426]

[@emilydao_]

that is so rough Jess, I wish you all the best and that you'll get your residency soon!!

[@kezjacobs]

hi jess! i’m in the same process with you right now. i’m from Indonesia and i just recently moved to the US. it’s very hard knowing that I can’t be back home until I get the residency. i just wanna say that you’re not alone and one day, I believe it’ll all make sense. thank you so much for encouraging me with this video I wanna cry 😭😭 it puts so much effort for the green card process and I believe God has His’ perfect timing!! ❤️ I pray that God will put an understanding in your heart and remember to always be kind to yourself because it helps a lot!!! ✨ I can’t wait to go back home and I’ll pray for you too. We got this because I know that God is on our side! 😊❤️

[@kezjacobs]
