You're like the third Irish/American couple who met in a bar. I love it :)

If I were in Ireland I'd probably never leave the freaking pub.

Welcome to VJ! You'll love it!

Haha, so true! Thats where we met! My hubby's comment was 'Sure, where else would you meet people?' And this from a couple who now almost never goes to the bars in the states...

Anyways, galwayman, we've met elsewhere on VJ, but welcome again :)

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:
