Congratulations everyone!!time to party :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Did you call for NVC number or wait? I am not sure the point in calling if we need to wait for the barcode.

[hello everyone....this is really a long processsssssss. but love waits :dance:

True love will find a way. (L)

Arent you a mushball today! Only 3 more days! Woo hoo,

It's already Saturday here, my husband called NVC yesterday (nine days after our approval) and they said it takes 2-4 weeks, pah, so starting on Monday he's going to call them daily until he gets the number...

David, you're very soppy today!! Only 11 more days until I see my hubby :D :D

My love is like a red red rose that's newly sprung in June! (F)

I don't even know the next line. And it's not a poem. It's a song. Maybe I'll sing it to you. Unless you pay me not to!

I have only seen it written so I assumed it was a poem. I've never heard you sing. Guess I'll have to get you drunk!

Karaoke bar here comes the Scot!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

Hi MJ, yes, I think I'll have another medical. We have not received the AOS instructions yet because it is the weekend. Maybe Monday, I hope. Good luck!

I think it depends on the country but most will NOT do your 'immigration' medical unless you have your interview letter in hand.

He is going to Knightsbridge for Medical and London interview. I was sorta hoping to get them done in one trip but it is seeming unlikely.

I’m sorry if my wife (Señora Bonita) has confused you about the medical question. Well, to explain things, she had a medical exam 8 months ago in connection with a fiancée visa application that we applied for. The fiancée visa application was later withdrawn and now we have to go through the CR-1 route.
