Still can't believe she's here. We went to the CFO together in Cebu (of course I slept on a bench outside for most of the day. I thought it would be a couple hours, ended up being the entire day).

We received the visa while I was there, and used Chicago as our port of entry before flying to Detroit. We're now here in Indiana, and I am so happy she is here.

Thanks to VJ for all your advice and information. She went through immigration pretty quick despite the fact that she accidentally opened the plastic envelope holding her packet of info. She didn't open the brown envelope, but it clearly says not to open either one. They didn't even care about it. The immigration officer seemed perturbed that we were getting married after knowing eachother 10 months. he didn't seem to think it was enough time, but he stamped her passport and sent us on our way.

Just a word of advice, send your fiance through the visitor's line and you go on to the citizen's line. You'll get yelled at (like I was) if you bring her through the citizen's line.

CONGRATULATIONS! How does she like the snow?

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.
