I'm so excited! I just spoke with Arun, and his CR1 interview is over and they approved his visa! :dance::dance:

It feels spectacular to be finished with this stage! It's like a load has been lifted off of my heart. I'm so thankful. Thank God for seeing us through all of this!

I know the interview didn't last very long, and they asked a few questions about my family and looked our pictures, but Arun will provide a more thorough breakdown of the interview later. Right now, he's arranging the afternoon pick-up of his passport and documents.

I'll let you all know when he has the visa in hand. I'm so happy, I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight...

CONGRATULATIONS!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
