CITIZEN Pinoy is excited to announce the start of a special series of “Your Tanong, My Sagot” episodes, taped at Valerio’s Tropical Bakeshop in Chicago, IL.
Valerio’s, a beloved chain of bakeshops with 17 stores across North America, serves as the perfect backdrop for this engaging and informative series.
Leading U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel was at the branch to answer immigration questions from customers of Valerio’s in Chicago.
Joining us in this episode is Elaine Valerio, the daughter of the founder of Valerio’s and one of the co-owners. Elaine shares the rich history of their family business and highlights some of their most popular products, including pandesal, carioca, empanada, siopao and cheese rolls. In a delightful twist, Elaine even poses her own immigration question about bringing friends and relatives from the Philippines to assist at Valerio’s.
Elaine asked if it is possible to petition workers from the Philippines to help with the work at Valerio’s.
Other customers who visited the store during the taping were also able to ask their questions.
Benny, a divorced U.S. citizen, wants to know if he can bring his married girlfriend, who has been separated for 15 years, to the U.S. to marry him.
Vency, an employee at the branch, just immigrated to the U.S. She wants to know how she can bring her children, who are 17 and 22 years old, to the U.S.
