I can't really help myself :dance: - I'm so excited that after 400+ days of waiting, Arun's CR1 interview in Delhi is only a few days away. And then, God-willing, he'll fly to me next week! Woohoo! :dance: I just love saying that - "he'll be here next week, he'll be here next week!" (L)

I was blessed to be able to spend much of our marriage with him in India, but I've been back in the USA for almost two months now, and I am just soooo ready for him to join me! (And of course, he's never met ANY of my family or friends, so they are excited, too!)

By the time of his interview, it'll be 425 days from the day we filed the I-130. Whew, what a long journey! But it's well worth it! :)
