CITIZEN Pinoy brings this brand new “Your Tanong, My Sagot” episode from Max’s Fried Chicken in Tukwila, Seattle, Washington – a beloved spot for Filipino Americans to enjoy traditional Filipino cuisine and celebrate special occasions.

Leading U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel visited the restaurant to answer immigration questions from staff members and customers.

Atty. Gurfinkel was warmly welcomed by Lana Marcaida, senior business head for Max’s North America, who shared her experiences managing the popular chain in the U.S.

The episode also features questions from Jael and Jharmaine, the daughters of the restaurant’s owner, who are both part of the working staff.

Marylou asked how her niece can come to the U.S. legally to find a job or a husband.

Jenny is concerned about issues with her name on her passport, which lists her middle and last names as “Marcial-Marcial,” and wonders how this might affect her ability to petition her husband and kids.

Jael has a friend who came to the U.S. as a visitor and got pregnant. Jael asks if her friend could now get her papers in order through her son, who is turning 18.
Jharmaine wanted to know if their relatives in the Philippines can immigrate to the U.S. to help in the restaurant.

Atty. Gurfinkel answers these questions and more in “Your Tanong, My Sagot” at the Seattle branch of Valerio’s Tropical Bakeshop.
