Have been living in the US ten days now. Just back here to look up some AOS details. We're planning to get our marriage license in the next couple days.

The first little while has been, for us, both very challenging and totally delightful. Plan to go really, really easy on each other for the first little while, especially if you haven't lived together before. I had some tears about leaving home when I first got here, and felt too overwhelmed, the rest of the day, to make any decisions about anything (where to eat, what to do next).

It's a big deal. We are reading to each other a lot and watching movies and he has been making me delicious meals. One of the best things about being here for keeps is that we don't have to spend every minute together, if that makes sense. We can take time out for ourselves without feeling like we're wasting part of a precious visit, and we both feel a lot better and more balanced for it. It's exciting figuring out how we want to do things, what our routines will be, hashing things out -- not always smooth, but exciting. And touching, all day -- amazing!

July 3, 2011 - POE at Pacific Central Station

July 25, 2011 - AOS mailed

August 30, 2011 - RFE (ARRRRGH)

September 26, 2011 - Biometrics appt

Sept 30 - Response to RFE sent in.

November 22, 2011 - Interview @ San Bernardino. Approved! Went down the street and got a passport stamp too, so I can travel for xmas.

NO MORE DEALING WITH IMMIGRATION FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS! AMAZING!

I am so happy for you two. You sound like a very sweet couple and I wish you all the best :) I am also dreading leaving my family and friends behind, every time I visited, even if it was for 6 weeks, I barely missed home cause I knew I'd be back soon enough and away from Angelo. But this time will be different. I am glad Angelo will have a week off from work after I arrive so we can adjust together. It sounds like you two are doing very well :yes:

Thanks so much!! I just hung up with Mario on Skype and he is on his way to Amsterdam for the interview. We have been checking in every now and then these past months and are more confident each time we see approvals. :D I am so happy for all that are approved and cant wait till we are today! (positive thinking) Its very nerve racking and exciting all together. I'm13 weeks pregnant and have had complications along the way. So for me to remain calm and rest is really hard right now. I can't wait for the results today, fingers crossed...when approved and after the Visa arrives he is leaving the next day. FINALLY THE BEGINNING OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES!! BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE WAITING FOR THEIR INTERVIEWS.:thumbs:
