Additional info:

So I put on my pink shirt when I knew Fiona was going to turn in her police report at the consulate. Unplanned and without knowing what I was wearing, Fiona wore a pink shirt the same day.

At the consulate she was given a number again. Then, she took a seat. A man sitting near her said to her, "Why you wear a pink shirt? So sure you will receive pink?". She said yes and asked him, "Why you not wear a pink shirt?" All in light hearted fashion of course.

In the end, 10 people were called for pink slips with Fiona being the last of the 10. She said, the man who commented on her shirt did not get pink.

Call it luck or whatever, it is interesting to me. She said it was evident who were receiving pinks that day and who was not. This was the 1pm slot and not the morning slot which I'm sure makes a difference. I guess these were all people returning a 2nd time.

Fiona and I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your insight along the way.

There were many personal challenges for me to overcome in the passed 11 months. I sold personal items that I said I would never part with to fund my most recent two month trip, rings and things for ceremonies.

I did all of this without a job. The insane amount of time and energy I put into finding work when I came home paid off at the last minute and could have been a huge red flag.

:( made sure that she know what you did to get her over here in the us, so she will love ya more. you still have your car right?

No. That car had to sell last year. Here is a picture of it before I sold it.
