“I think the biggest news I have at the moment is that I’ve finally got my green card,” says Galway beauty Shahira (32). Sunday world.

“The Green Card will make life a lot easier because with my previous 0-1 visa I could only work in the entertainment industry and even then some of the big studios wouldn’t accept the 0-1.

“I’m looking forward to showing him where I’m from and taking him to some Irish pubs.

“I’m looking forward to the Christmas market. Galway is very magical over the holidays.”

She adds: “I’ve been living in LA for nine years now and I have no idea where the time has gone. I still love it as much as I did in the beginning.
