Hello everyone,

This site has been a wealth of information during my immigration process - almost a one-stop-shop to get the info we needed. I am a South African and my husband American. Thankfully we are through it all and I became a citizen earlier this year. Great feeling!

I met my husband online and have finally - after threatening for years! - put together a website for transplanted wives: women who met their partners online or while by chance while on vacation or studying (or similar situations) and then left their countries to join him in his country. Many of us know how difficult this transition can be! For those in similar situations, please visit my website (launched yesterday!), Hummingbird Hearts. Look forward to getting to know some of you!

Don't quite know if it's okay, but I've added this website to my links page - hope that's okay! Will the administrators please let me know?

Thank you!

Bluebonn
