Enkae Chang from Overland Park and Francielle Chang from Curitiba, Brazil started their relationship with a Facebook friend request in 2018, met in 2020, and completed a long K-1 visa process that brought Francielle to the U.S. in June 2023.

After marrying within 90 days and securing her green card six months later, the couple plans to welcome their first child due on July 25—marking a new chapter that also leads Francielle to help others with immigration—while looking ahead to future citizenship.
