yeah, i finally got a hold of him at 10:30 that night. he was so excited, he booked a train ticket to go home and say his goodbyes. he is there now. we have his ticket on hold with american airlines. i am just verifying that since he has to do a layover in Baharain, and London, that he doesn't need anything from them just to be able to sit in their airports other than his passport with american visa, and his ticket to show he is just passing through. so far it looks like he does not, but i don't want to take any chances.

Hello Gang!

I'm sitting at Logan airport in Boston using the free wifi waiting for Diane to finish work to pick me up. I have just had my visa stamped and I am officially a US resident. The whole process took literally 5 mins. Nothing to it. Exactly 7 months to the day since we got married we can start being a real married couple.

Wow Scot, I'm so excited for you both! Yay! Keep us posted! How close are you two to DC? I'll be coming out that way probably at the end of summer.

And in two weeks, I fly off to get my hubby-he enters on 3/3! He wanted to go home to Finland again before he moved here...so that's where he is now...such a good wife I am! Or a crazy agreeable one...

Happy, happy day!! A week from today it will be my turn :)

Mark

Yay Mark! You won our contest! hehee Hope you're doing well! I look forward to our double date sometime!!!

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!

he is leaving delhi on march 1, with a layover in bahrain and london. will be here on march 2nd. yes, everywhere i read he did not need the transit visa. so excited about that. it was only 40,000 miles and 107.80 (taxes and processing). whereas if we would have paid for one way ticket, they are just ridiculous right now. soooooooooooo excited :dance:

Hello all!

What a glorious day today!! Not only were Karina and I able to change our Embassy back to Madrid, Spain, we got a sign in failure at the NVC!! I guess this means our case is finally complete! What a long long long road it has been for us!! Does anyone know how long it takes to get an interview/medical date from time of case completion??

Thanks
