Just got a call from my love....his visa is approved!

He was so happy, the process went so well for him. The interviewer told him he looked very sharp today, he thanked him and then there was no questions! He took some documents, handed my husband all of our original documents back and told him three to five weeks...handed him a slip of paper and that was it!!!

I've been praying all night for him...thank you God for our blessing!!

Now I can finally sleep...thanks to everyone who wished us well and kept us in their prayers.

WHOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys...the funny thing is I woke up in a panic thinking this is too good to be true. After everything I've read from other applicants I don't trust the government to make this easy. Is that crazy or what????
