ok guys , Ive been with my wife almost 6 years, we have been married for 1 year and 6 months and after all the years of confusion of which visa to get and how it works, I finally have been approved, I have my visa and Im flying off to be with my wife on Monday. Let me tell you the feeling is amazing.

For all you people who are still going through the process or starting it, never ever give up keep trying no matter how long it takes because it is so worth it in the end, Whether your trying to move somewhere for love, work, or any other reason, Dont give up on your dreams.
