Finally, I am reunited with my loving fiance now :) . After the long visa process and 15 hours in the air, it is wonderful to be together with him again. Everything went smoothly. Flight was on time, the Immigration officers were very nice. It took me only 30 minutes to go through Immigration :thumbs: .

The first Immigration Officer asked me these questions:

> Why are you going to the U.S?

> What is your fiance's name

> How long have you known each other?

Then, he took my fingerprints and my photo, and instructed me to proceed to the other Immigration counter.

The second Immigration officer checked my visa packet and asked me the following questions:

> Fiance's name

> Is he divorced? Does he have any kids?

> Where did you meet him?

> Your parent's names?

> His age and your age?

He gave me back my xray CD and my passport. Then, he told me that I have 3 months to marry my fiance. Also, he wished me good luck in my marriage.

My fiance was there waiting for me ;) at the baggage claim area.

I saw snow today for the first time in my life !!!
