Dude -- good luck, si man. You can sweat less in the knowledge that her country isn't Ecuador.

Or Morocco......LOL

All kidding aside, best of luck to both of you.

Do you see how big the sea is?

Do you see how big the sea is? My love for you is as big as the sea.

Do you see how far the sky is? My love for you is as far as the sky.

As big as the sea and as far as the sky I love you,

I waited for you, I called upon you, I drew you on the promenades,

You sorrow of my life, you tears of the flowers, you season of the birds,

How vast the forest is, my heart is as vast as the forest.

You who are drawn on my door, and drawn in my heart,

I waited for you a year, and throughout the year I would ask the walnut trees,

and I would see you in the sunny days, coming from the sunny days, and lost in the almond leaves,

How small is a tear, and I am just a tear in your way,

I want to vow a candle so that you would let me love you.

Good luck!!! (F)

Gah!

Freaking out, even though no reason to. Good thing I have to work or I'd be a mess. She has every paper she needs, everything should be fine.

Interview is 1-14 her time 7 a.m., which is my time 5 p.m. tomorrow night, or about 31 1/2 hours from now (not that I'm counting haha).

Hope it will be fine, but no way am I giving up no matter what the result is. If I have to go there, get married, and start an I-130, so be it (if that's the next step, haven't even researched that part, trying to stay positive). I know for sure I found my wife and my perfect match, hope the CO knows it too.
