Hi All,

I am not a member of this forum, but by virtue of being Nigerian I drop in once in a while. I must say that I enjoy the forum tremendously and I do take time to pray for a couple you all.

Well, after a journey has definately tested my patience and my faith in God. I can now say that the journey is over. Despite New York's reputation for numerous delays my Green Card is on its way after a little more than a year.

The Lord is great!!!

I am now scrambling to get a UK visa and tickets to Nigeria for several business trips I have put off because of this. It's been a while since I have been home and the feeling is surreal.

I have to hurry back thou my wife and I have our formal wedding in June and I have almost thirty family members and friends flying in from Nigeria.

May the Lord bless your relationships, marriages, your families and may he cause his countenance to shine upon you. Greetings from NYC!!!
