Morning everyone!

Sachi, welcome to US!!!!!

This past night I had a happy dream that hubby's visa was approved!!!!

Also got more evidence to mail to hubby. I went to India last year for his sisters wedding but I could not find the itinary anywhere & called Yatra & they no longer have it available. So I am emailing hubby a copy of my Indian Visa & passport page where its stamped when I visited India. I think thats even better then the Itinary.

Getting exciting!!!! 5 (almost) days left!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Hubby's India to JFK ticket is purchased already.

It's been a year since I seen him...

I put that in there because I'd read a thread here where the CO accused the girl of that! He was badgering her and insisting that filipina heart was..LOL Yeh, if it's racy I think they automatically assume she's a bar girl, etc.
