Project Part 2
I am a Filipino male earning a living as a software engineer outside of Dallas, Texas. I earned my degree in the Philippines before moving to the United States on a H1-B visa to work for Texas Instruments. (H-1B Work Visa) Texas Instruments is an American company that designs and sells a variety of computer parts, and calculators to software. The work hours that are required are typical of most American companies with a lot of travel involved plus many late hours to meet project deadlines. I brought my wife with me who is pregnant with our first child. She came on a H4 visa which means she is not allowed to work. (H-4 family members) But this is ok with us because of her pregnancy. This gives her time to get acclimated to the United States before our child is born and to set up our household. This also gives me time to apply for a green card. We have plans to apply for a status change to a H1-B for my wife after the baby starts school. Our daily schedule is still typical of a Filipino family, waking up and my wife cooking rice mixed with eggs and side of smoked dried fish. (Filipino Food Online)Then she fixes an American style lunch of sandwiches and fruit because of eating at my desk or on the run with my new job. My wife has a tendency to get bored but we are almost at the end of our pregnancy so she tries to stay busy with the baby nursery and keeping our home clean. Sometimes she goes to a park close by to walk so that she can get some exercise and fresh air. She always cooks a traditional Filipino meal for me in the evening if I am for sure coming home on time of rice and vegetables with some type of meat. (Filipino Food Online)Otherwise she just eats something light and waits for me to come home from work. My wife has found several Asian grocery stores around that have some our traditional foods available which make it so my wife doesn’t get as homesick. My wife has also met some
