Yeah so after three years of this immigration process (including the 1 year wait for my tax return to reflect my qualifying income as a sponsor and the 3 month wait for his waiver) to be approved, tomorrow is my hubby's final interview appointment. :dance: :dance: :dance: He's in Barbados chillaxin right now and making sure he has everything for the millionth time. He basically had to do a new medical new passport photos and a new police certificate to bring along to his final interview because the last time he did all that was over a year ago.

The embassy representative did state in an email that if he has everything that they requested that he could get his visa in hand the same day. I'm so excited for him.

So hopefully all goes well. I'll be updating everyone in this thread so stay tuned. :luv::thumbs:

GUESS WHAT EVERYONE HE GOT APPROVED!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

His appointment was @7:30am :blink: so got up super early and caught a taxi to the embassy. They basically asked him for the documents they requested and the updated medical exam and police certificate and said Congrats you're approved! He didn't get his visa in hand as the lady said via email but they took his passport and had him arrange with DHL to pay for the airway bill to send it to him in Dominica. They said that he will get his visa next week.

I'm so relieved and happy. :dance: :dance: :dance:

I'm so glad that he has finally been approved and that you can finally be together.

Life Is Too Short,

Break The Rules, Forgive Quickly,

Kiss Slowly, Love Truly,

Laugh Uncontrollably,

And Never Regret Anything

That Made You Smile.

Life May Not Be The Party

We Hoped For,

But While We ' re Here, We Should Dance...
