Hello all,

I received my Green Card in the Mail yesterday :dance::dance::dance::dance:

I can't beleive that this journey is finally over!! What alot of waiting, hoping, praying, crying, dissapointment and joy along the way.

101 Days!!! from sending off the AOS Papers to receiving the Green Card. Well sure does make up for the dissapointment in Dublin :D

Thankyou so much to everyone who has helped Lisa and I along the way, and i will definatly still be checking into to VJ and offering my help where ever i can.
