Hi all!

Thanks so much for your help! David and I went to our interview and the visa was approved today! We were only there for an hour and a half and the interview was fine... No problems.

I´ll definitely post more on this later, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for having me super prepared for the interview! It´s due to all of your help, I swear.

David thanks everyone too for their help!

Besos, Shannon
