So its finally time. My wife has her interview at the London Consulate at 8am tomorrow (midnight my time). I can't even express how nervous we are. Have a few concerns here and there, but hopefully everything will go through, and we will finally be back together after almost a year and a half.

All that being said, thank you everyone for all the help and support. As you all know it is quite a tough process, and it will test your relationship to its core. For those still waiting for various stages of approval, keep strong. All will be well!!!

Thank you again

Apologies if I state in a comment that my husband and I have been together for years & years. It's just that I can hardly remember a time when he and I were not together.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! We are currently in Administrative Processing with no time-lines to guide us!

My husband is looking at cars in Trinidad for me as his wish has come true! Me a Trini-Wife!

BUT

I will call DoS weekly to check the progress and I will not give up hope.

July of 2011 is the cut off date for us, when I will either start construction on a home here in the US or return to Trinidad to be with my husband.

Most certainly wishing her good luck tomorrow, it must be nice to have everything come together finally!

I don't know how you guys deal with an 8 hour time difference, I'm so glad that my husband is on the East coast!

By a happy accident, I ended up on the night shift where I work. A bit higher pay, and we are also almost on the same schedule. Thank you all for all the well wishes. I will update this as soon as I hear she's been approved!

good luck to her...I am sure all will be good.

May love and laughter light your days,

Approved! Now I hope they hurry up and generate the forms and send it. I'm so happy. Thank you so much to all, without the community here, we wouldn't have been able to make it through this whole process.

For all the rest out there still waiting, it will come!
