Congratulations Navyk and Sunny. You must be very happy. Wish you all the best in your life in USA as we start my journey. Still trying to figure out how to add the time line. We are at the stage where we are waiting for our medical and interview date, but have no idea how long it will take. Our 22 yo unmarried son is sponsoring my husband and myself.
