You will almost never see me congratulating people... but your timeline and story and "tone of voice" in your posts makes my eyes water.. (i'm a 24 yo MAN by the way..lol) But from the bottom of my heart.. I congratulate you and your wife on your approval. Not just on your approval, your dedication to eachother, the patience, the love and understanding and the damn determination to put USCIS up against the wall and bent over backwards where they should be.

Good job Gogo and congratulations.. Hope you and your wife have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year without USCIS in the back of your head. Take care.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
