Tevita Gets His Citizenship!!!

Congratulations to Tevita Foliaki his wife Coco Stone and his two children Saia and Kase. Tevita, who provides Security for the Wavecrest Complex recently was awarded his United States Citizenship. He came to Hawaii in 1996 and was married to Coco Stone in 1998. His son Saia He was born shortly thereafter and his daughter Kase He was born 3 years later.

Tevita applied for his green card right after his marriage and it took him one year and $4ooo to acquire the card. His wife persuaded him from then on to pursue his citizenship but Tevita felt that he couldn't read and speak English that well. When another Wavecrest employee, Miphel, got her citizenship she and many of his friends encouraged him to apply for his citizenship. It took him three months after his application to obtain his interview. Prior to taking the test he stayed up all night studying for his examination. However, in spite of being nervous Tevita was awarded his citizenship and should be very proud of his accomplishments. Congratulations were made by the staff hosting a lunch in his honor.
