I am not a MAIL-IN-BRIDE

…or Domestic Helper. I am a Filipino- American, I was born in Hawaii. My husband is white, we meet in the Army (yes, I served for 8 years Active Duty). Everywhere we go people ask me where I was from of how long did it take for my husband to petition me or people will joke around and say ” I will call ICE on you” or ” is this your first time in America?”
