So its upon me, in 12hours ill be walking to the embassy and it will all soon(hopefully) be over. been along time since i kissed my son goodbye as we droppd him of at daycare, along time since i held my wife at austin airport and told her id be back, but we are here, we have got here by sheer hard work, determination and a never say never attitude, its been tough, alot of fights, tears, struggles and what ifs along the way, but tomorrow it all comes down to either of these to words, declined or approved. there wil be grilling, this i no, i overstayed the visa waiver. doubt creeps in about other things. but theres nothing we can do now, its all in my hands now, uscis and nvc seen no reason to halt or delay our case, so its the last step in a giagantic walk. to everyone who has helped us, answered some of the most stupid questions we had to ask, thank you all so much, please say a prayer for me and my family, theres a 16month old who needs his daddy, and a daddy who needs him more, a special thanks to magical who has had some very wise and helpful input. i shall report back tomorrow, this is it

Good luck to you! May God help you and you get the best results!

Allah[swt] says: “You may have someone in your mind, someone in your heart, someone in your dreams, someone in your life, but I am your someone when you have no one"He[swt] reminds us saying "O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you." [[Qur'an:8:4]] So when you slip and fall, remind yourself of Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, the One whose always there, just waiting for your Call!
