I love my wife so much...

She is here now, since May 3. She still struggles with not being able to work. She was a school principal, her dream job, and had to give all that up in coming here, and it is hard for her still, but she sure does take it all well. She has her moments when she feels down because of not working and losing her career, but she overcomes that.

She laughs, and that is music to my ears. I adore her. I love her with all my heart and soul. She is sleeping right now...I work late. She was sleeping on the couch downstairs when I came home, but she woke up and came upstairs as I was putting the clean, washed sheets on the bed. I just watched her sleep for awhile. I got off work early tonight, so am awake, and will get some things done here. But it is the most wonderful feeling to know she is just in the bedroom, and I will be able to go there when ready, and cuddle up to her and hold her and breath in the beautiful smell of her hair and fall asleep with her in my arms.

I would have waited any number of years for her... I adore her.

My wife was an executive assistant for a huge American based company in her country and very accustomed to working and paying her own way. And she isn't the kind of woman that would be happy watching soap box operas on the TV all day, and of course I was working. She did get an international drivers license, and my auto insurance company covered her that gave her freedom during the day. Also she did a lot of volunteer work and made a lot of new friends. When she got her EAD, she got a good job instantly, they already knew how good she was.

That EAD changed to a conditional green card, a ten year card, and USC, America is her home.

:luv: that is SOO sweet. you guys are a lucky couple :)

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
