yaay, yeah as you guessed it, we were approved! God is Good, isnt HE?:) just wanted to share this delightful story with everyone here. The interview was this morning, went well and super easy, the Lady officer was super duper nice. We walked in her office and my husband start the conversation with : a busy office huh, and she answered oh yeah. then she asked us to raise our right hand and after that she said please have a seat. Her first question was what kind of documents did you bring for me? so i took all the papers out and she didnt even look at it one by one:) then she asked how we met, and while my husband telling her the story, i stood up and walked closer to her table and started to show her each of the paper, and seemed like she didnt really pay attention haha, when she stamped that stamp and asked me to sign it, i was just numb for couple second...all she took from the documents that i brought was only my husband's letter of employment and the pay stubs. She didnt even ask to see the pictures but we offered and she was pleased to see them. She didnt even care to look at the rests of the evidences that we brought haha, oh and my files on her desk was thick as the thickest book ever:) then finally she said, alright, in 2 or 3 weeks you should get the Green card for the 2 years one and 90 days before its expired you need to file again for the 10 years one, but a year after that, you are eligible to apply for the citizenship. Oh she also asked no baby yet huh and smiled. the last part of the story: i got blister from my new cute shoes that i bought the night before the interview to match my skirt hahahaha so once we outside the building i took em off and walked barefooted to the parking lot, didnt care people were staring, i didnt care anymore!!! all i care was that there will be no more worries because its all over. I asked the officer before we left her room, can i hug you? she said, sure, come here, so she hugged me.. i gave her this stone that i got from the beach with my THANK YOU handwriting on it plus with the smiley face, she said, oh thank you, its really neat. She walked us out and wish us a good day.

I'm still having my happiest feeling now:) not sure when it'll ended haha.

For all of yous out there that still filing for whatever you file and still waiting for the result, i wish you all the best lucks and please keep saying the prayers along the way because you just would never get thru this without God leading the way, it'll like try to start a fire with water, just wont work.

have a fun day guys!

The wait would be unbearable but it'll be worth it. It strengthens the love, it attaches you even more to each other, it shows how your man would do whatever it takes to be with you, that he will never give up on you because he LOVES you!! All the waits, stresses, tears, heartaches, all the miserable feelings you feel along the way will be paid off once you get what you've been hoping for...oh and WITHOUT PRAYERS? will be like trying to start a fire with water, JUST WON'T WORK!

Aww, that is a great review! I really like the part about giving the IO a thank you hug and the thank you stone. Congratulations! You can relax now for the next two years.

Very nice! 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.
