N600K Update
May 8, 2020
Another month and then some has passed with no change to Earth's case status. We had been working with our senator's office to try to get some information on his case before USCIS suspended in-person services and recently heard back from the Honolulu office. The information on the email indicated that the adjudicator had been preparing to schedule an interview but now everything is on hold and that Earth's case won't be considered for emergency processing since his application is for naturalization rather than citizenship.
Obviously, this isn't the way we thought things would go but all we can do is work towards the fastest solution to getting back together as a family and that's what we're doing.

Grocery Shopping on Ebeye
May 3, 2020
Many people think that the solution to the very high rates of diabetes and high blood pressure in the Marshall Islands is as simple as changing how the people here eat. It seems so straightforward- just eat more vegetables and less carbohydrates and processed food. But what do you do when there are no vegetables? Or if there are, they cost three times as much as rice?
Let's take a little tour of the main grocery store on Ebeye, to give you an idea of the broader scope of the problem. Earth and I had to pick up a few things so I took pictures of some typical things that you might want to buy along with their prices. I've also looked up the prices for the same item at the Kroger near my home in the US and listed that under each picture.
