Re-United :)

[Armin 0]

Hi VJs,

Just wanted to let you know that Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooray! it's been 24 hours that my wife and I are re-united in US.

It's been a long journey but I'm blessed that I found this wonderful website and its great members.

I think I still need this website so that make sure that we are getting things right. I think for now we have to wait for 3 weeks for her SS to arrive and then.... I think I need to read more... most probably there are wonderful posts regarding the process after entering US in this website.

Thanks guys, hang in there, Love will survive.

Below is my timeline.

and to all Iranians, eeeshala zoood e zooood be ham beresid

they haven't entered DS230 into system yet!

Aug 21: they want original marriage cert! the original certified translated one is not acceptable! I'm not sure if we cam get a certified copy! Pardis is going to look into that! it seems we are heading for december interview

Certified marriage cert was sent again on Aug 26. Will get there Aug 27 (Thursday)

Aug 28 they entered the checklist into AVR. Hope it won't take more than a week for them to review it. fingers crossed.
