Hi!!!

In case you didn't know it, WE'VE GOT THE VISA!

We went to the interview 3 weeks ago, and even though we were told that we were approved I didn't want to believe it until I saw the visa on hubby's passport....

Anyhow, we were going on a long weekend 2 days after the visa and the CO advised us not to leave the passport as they could not assure us that we would get it in time. I called the courier and had the passport picked up from my office... Passport got to the Embassy 2 days later, and TODAY I GOT IT BACK WITH A NICE SHINY VISA STUCK TO IT!

I have also bought the tickets now, and CANNOT WAIT TO GO!!!!!!

We are leaving on Sept 4th!!! IT IS OUR 2ND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY THAT DAY AS WELL!

Congrats! :dance::dance::dance:

And so he did what countless punk-rock songs had told him to do so many times before: he lived his life

12/02/2006 Paul had biometrics

12/14/2006 AOS Forwarded to CSC AND AP Application approved.

01/17/2007 First touch of 2007 at CSC

01/20/2007 Touched AGAIN (also the 18th) come on...

February: Oops, RFE for a REGISTERED marriage certificate. Oops! Overnighted it.

We began with mailing the I-129 in on February 27, 2006 so the whole process took us approx. one year.

Good luck out there!
