Basically a green card is an immigration visa. What Samuel has right now is a tourist visa which is very limited.\u00a0Secondly, we feel that it would benefit our two remaining children to attend an English school for a year, so that it isn&#8217;t such a drastic\u00a0adjustment for them\u00a0when they go back to the States as adults.\u00a0Also with the economy in the U.S.A. the way it is right now, some of our supporters have let us know that they will have to\u00a0drop us this year, so we feel that it would be a good time to touch base with our supporters and co-workers there.\u00a0We will be putting in the petition for a green card for Samuel at the American Embassy here in Asuncion, Paraguay next week.
