Anita con Swing obtains permanent residency in the U.S.: "A new beginning for me in this country and as a person."

The Cuban YouTuber and influencer Anita con Swing (@anitaconswing) has excited her followers after announcing that she now has permanent residency in the United States. The emotional moment was shared on both Instagram and TikTok, where the young woman couldn't contain her feelings upon opening the envelope.

In the video, Anita recalled the challenges she faced to reach this point, mentioning how a year and a half ago she had to leave her life in Spain and adapt to a new beginning in the United States. "My life changed forever," she expressed at the beginning of her talked-about video.

While preparing an order for her new art venture, her husband, musician Raúl Zapata, handed her an email that would change her life. “Tell me, my love, my husband, with a very important email in hand... What I'm opening is nothing less than my permanent residency in the United States," she shared, visibly excited.

On Instagram, her husband didn't hesitate to celebrate the good news with her: "I keep thinking about your little face when I gave you the news... it fills me with happiness, so well-deserved," to which Anita replied: "We have worked and fought together for our dreams, every little step feels so good by your side. Thank you, my love." This exchange of messages highlights the support and complicity between the couple, an important element in the story.

She also expressed her gratitude with a post in which she joked: "My pronouns are USA... Permanent Resident of the United States of America, I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had to improve and grow in this country."

This milestone in her life comes just a few months after she celebrated her first month in the country, reflecting on all the changes, gains, and lessons it was bringing her. "This country changes your life," she said on that occasion.

The reactions from her followers were immediate, with hundreds of congratulations filled with emotion and good wishes: “That emotion is never forgotten. Congratulations”; “You deserve every achievement, I've been following you since you started in our beloved Holguín”; “I'm crying of happiness with you”; “It happened, I am so happy for you”; “I've followed you since you started in Cuba...
