Yesenia: I have a great idea. Let’s plan a big
party for your mother’s 70th birthday. We’ll
invite all of your relatives from all
over the world.
Julian: I don’t think very many of them can
afford to travel half way around the world for a
party.
Yesenia: I’ve already spoken with your rich
brother and he’s already offered to pay for your
family’s airfare and hotel. If we plan it, he’ll
pay for it.
Julian: Julio offered to do that? Well, if he’s
on board then we can give it a
shot. But here’s another hitch.
My extended family lives in a lot
of different countries and I’m not sure they’ll
get visas to visit the U.S., especially
on short notice.
Yesenia: Let’s try, anyway. Your cousins in
Canada don’t need a visa because most
Canadian citizens don’t need one to
cross the border. What about your
uncle in Korea?
Julian: He’s already in the U.S. on an
exchange visitor visa until June. He
should
be able to come.
Yesenia: What about your aunt in Greece?
Julian: She won’t need a visa because Greece is
one of the countries in the Visa Waiver
Program.
Yesenia: Do you think your nephews in South
Africa will want to come?
Julian: I’m not sure what the visa situation is
there. We’ll have to check with the State
Department.
Yesenia: I’ll get on the horn first
thing in the morning to see what I can find out.
I might email them and ask them to check with
the embassy or
consulate there to be sure. This
party is really shaping up.
Julian: You seem to have it all under control.
Yesenia: Haven’t you always said that
party planning is my middle name?
