Hyd girl (F) Welcome back to the U.S (F)(F)(F)

Read your detailed story, very nice except the last AP part... I think in a few weeks time, you'll be all set. So, relax now and start concentrating on the job. But don't forget to dream those "beautiful" days spent in India...

Good luck again!

Yes, we are waiting Fathima's green card. Otherwise she's almost all set.
