1 week and counting until I-day. I think I'm more nervous about the interview than Tram is. She did her doctor thing today. Everything else is ready to go.

gahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

We've been over everything they could possibly deny us for and beefed up the ammo for it. I have this feeling of helplessness because I can't be there doing this for her. It's just her and the CO now.

The worst is knowing that in 2 weeks she could be flying into the States, or we will begin he difficult process of fighting for the pink. This makes me so uneasy not knowing what the future holds for us only 1 week from now.

I'll just keep praying and knowing that she will get the pink.

2-22-08 - I-485 rev'd

2-27-08 - NOA1

3-17-09 - Transferred to Cali.

4-12-08 - Biometrics

4-22-08 - Touch

...waiting...

3-04-09 - Had to renew the EAD :(

3-04-09 - Got annoyed at being outside of the processing window

3-04-09 - Called and they confirmed. Will contact me within 45 days.

3-05-09 - Date on the EAD NOA1

3-12-09 - Received a confirmation email that I am outside of the window and will get a decision in 60 days.

3-12-09 - TOUCH!!!

3-27-09 - Touch!

5-09-09 - Randomly received the renewed EAD Card... w/ wrong A# :(.

You have no idea!!!!! :)

She will be here long before you know it, is your house ready for a new boss? :)

Think of it this way, your single bachelor life is OVER as you know it!

Have fun and relax brother, she will be just fine, be stressed together :) HEHEHEHE

Good luck and stay focus OK

She'll be waking up in a couple hours to head to the consulate.

The interview time is 8pm EST here or 8am there. Hopefully sometime tomorrow morning I'll find out what's going on!!!

I'm fully confident we're getting the pink. When she wrapped up the order of the paper work she said to me "Wow, everything is so perfect, I know I will do good." Confidence is key!

At first she was looking at the interview as a torture session that was a one time yes/no for whether or not she comes here. Now I have her understanding that no matter what the outcome of the interview is, we will get her here. She is now looking at the interview as the happiest time of her life because she knows this is when she will find out she can come to America to be with me forever!

She told me she is so excited and ready to go that once she has the Visa she only wants 2 days and then she wants to come over. She misses me so much. :). I'll still make her wait at least a week so i can get a ticket and to let her spend some time with all her family. I'm real anxious just to see the pink :).

Proverbs 21:31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.

We are ready and I know the Lord is on my side on this one!!
