THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! Bahadir and I are very tired today after such a long awaited day. Bahadir and I had very hard days when we would see everyone getting their NOA2's and starting after us and already in the USA. BUt one thing I have learned so far. Is that it does happen when its the best time. I had so much happening in my life and he had in his that this was perfect timing. We have been apart 1 year and 2 months. and in 10 days when he flies here its a day we have talked about well it seems forever! I want you all to know and of coarse those that are in AP I send you every respect in the world. Just remember even though it seems to take forever for us as individuals there are others going through this process still with no answer after their interview. Bahadir and I made it through but we give all our respect to these couples. For those still waitingyour no2 keep life in perspective and know it is coming! Here is a song my friend sent me today....thought it to be fitting
