Meet Gulfport’s Newest U.S. Citizen: Jenny Farley Jenny Farley can identify somewhat with the plight of Sandra Bullock’s character in the hit film “The Proposal.” The Gulfport resident has never been faced with the prospect of being banished from the United States to her native Canada within a single weekend, as was dramatized on screen, but she has experienced some hassles when crossing the border. Those problems will be no more since, as of Sept. 6, she is officially a U.S. citizen. She went through a visa process in 2006 when she moved to California to begin college. While there she needed a job, which meant another visa. One summer she got a job at a camp in northern Michigan. She went home for a weekend due to a death in the family, and when she came back a few days later, U.S. officials would not let her into the country despite her having a contract to work the entire summer. Fortunately, she was not delayed in returning to college in the fall. Jenny continued on page 5
