Three days and my wife and child will be here in the U.S. and its about time. Has been nearly nine months since I have seen them. Our VISA process was really fast, but we decided to let our baby finish prep. But here we are....3 days away.

This site has been incredibly helpful...discoverd by a vague search for VISA info. But in the end, the most useful tool of all of them.

Just wanted to offer my thanks to everyone who help up along the way and offere a word of encouragment to those still processing. Hang in there, keep you hopes up and...read, read, read...if you are doing it right, you are research your behind off. I cannot count the hours I have spent reading posting, posting posts...and fretting about all the little details. But we made it.

God's love to all.

Yes,

Yes, it is about time. In about 8.5 hours our daughter and I begin our trek home to the man of our lives. I have mixed feelings, happy and sad at the same time, admixed with some excitement and exhiliration plus some apprehension. I am leaving the home I have known since the day I was born, embarking on a trip for life with my future. Seems like it was just yesterday when my Love and I went on this site which has played a vital role in making what was once a much-coveted dream a reality. Thank you very much to everybody for helping us achieve this. Thank you to those who had made it for providing the inspiration to keep us up and moving.

To sasha414: Hang in there, girl. Your time is almost up. Keep smiling. Will email you soon.

To my hubby Boorai: thank you for your love and patience. We are going home, Daddy. Our baby is very, very excited to see her princess bed in her Daddy's house :)

To those who have yet to begin their journey or are currently in it, do not lose hope in the face of the seemingly endless wait. Your time will come and you will rejoice just as we do.

Thanks VJ family! God Bless all of you!
