Oh my freakin goodness!!! After almost 6 month since your interview, is it finally over for you? I pray that you received all the correct info and it is. Please post when he has the visa in hand so we know for sure. Here is hoping he is in your arms by the end of the month!!

I myself can't wait to post the good news of receiving the visa in hand. Still holding my breath!42.gif

Visa Journey completed, but we are still here to provide support! :)

I can track my fiance's visa on the DX Courier website! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Due for delivery tomorrow! (He paid for before 12 PM :) )

Now we are busy with flight bookings and preparation...I am going to the UK to make a short trip to Pakistan before POE because his mother has not seen him for over a year and also to help get his things here.

I most probably will not be active on VJ until we get back here in the USA, so I would like to take this minute to thank every SINGLE PERSON that has offered words of kindness, advice, compassion, and helped in ways that we cannot explain....You all mean a lot to us! I am sorry I can't name every single person, I am afraid I might miss someone, but that doesn't mean that we have forgotten anyone!
