So the long and winding road finally leads us to a successful and happy ending......or beginning! After a long journey together, or apart when we began, my love was approved today at the USCIS office in Phoenix, AZ. All I can say is WOW! It took so long and we were apart for such a long time, but with hope, prayer, and determination, we were triumphant. The immigration officer was nice and made the moment light, as he knew that Pat was nervous. After a few questions from him and some questions of our own, we were congratulated and sent on our way.

Hang in there all of you who continue to wait, hope, and have courage for the one you love.....THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, AND IT IS NOT THE TRAIN :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Thank you for yor question. The interview was very pleasant, and we were interviewed together. It took maybe 15-25 minutes, and was very informal. The Immigration had only a few questions, but for sure he wanted us to show that we were a couple. We had many photos of places we went after my wife arrived, documents with both names, he asked whether my wife had applied for any government aid since she was here (NO is the right answer), and that was about it. We were able to laugh and joke while doing all this as well. Once you arrive at this place in the immigration process, this is reallly a formality at this point to make sure that the couple is really a couple and acting the part.

I hope this answered your question.
