My Family Story by Tiffany Parrilla https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka en-us 2019-05-13 16:54:44 UTC 2025-05-28 18:50:09 UTC hello@padlet.com How and why my family came to the United States 928000 https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359576490 My mom's family moved from the Philippines to the US in November 1987. They came to America by plane. The reason they moved was because my mom's aunt wanted her brother (my grandpa) to have a better life. So she petitioned them which was a three year process.

My dad's family also moved to America by plane from Nicaragua to the United States in 1987. They were petitioned by my dad's Tia Francis. They moved because they wanted a better life for the family.]]> 2019-05-13 16:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359576490 Obstacles that were met 928000 https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359578646 The only ¨obstacle¨ was that it took three years for my mom's family to be allowed in America.

An obstacle for my dad's family would also be the amount of time it took. He said that it felt like it took around ten years.]]> 2019-05-13 17:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359578646 Obstacles that were met 928000 https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359578650 2019-05-13 17:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359578650 Historical Situations and Effects 928000 https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359578887 There were no historical events going on in the Philippines nor the United States.

While my dad's family was trying to gain access to move to the United States, there was a war going on in Nicaragua. This was probably one of the main reasons that they wanted to move to the United States. They weren't safe at home.]]> 2019-05-13 17:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/359578887 Interesting findings 928000 https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/360640191 2019-05-16 05:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/360640191 928000 https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/363021998 2019-05-23 17:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/363021998 928000 https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/363022226 2019-05-23 17:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/928000/645qkvv0akka/wish/363022226
