US green card

[Alexandoy]

In 2007, my father's petition for his children were approved. My father was an American citizen by virtue of his second world war services. My 3 siblings pursued the petition and are now immigrants in the US. And my papers? I declined the petition because I prefer living here in the Philippines. I wouldn't want to leave a comfortable life here in exchange for the dollars.

What can you say on the issue?

I have happy where I am now. However, I am also under family and friends pressure to apply for US Green Card Lottery. Every year I fill form for US Diversity Visa Lottery, it has been almost 5 years now. I apply for DV not because I want to go to the US, I do this just because my friends and families are doing this. I want to travel to the US and see the country, however, I don't want to live and work there.

If you like it in the Philippines than why leave?
