Claudia Morales, from Maryland, revealed her parents arrived in the U.S. in search of a new life for their family, but it meant leaving behind their own families with no idea when they would be reunited.

After 14 years of uncertainty, her dad finally received his permanent resident documents, which allowed him to re-enter the country after traveling abroad.

When the card arrived, Claudia’s mom gift-wrapped it inside a small box before excitedly giving it to her husband—who joked that it seemed like a marriage proposal.

As he opened the box, his eyes lit up as he realized what the moment meant, shouting, “Oh boy! Oh boy!

U.S. residency, oh my goodness! Wooh!” he said, celebrating the fact that he could finally head home to see his family.
