Finally we are in USA :dance: :dance: :dance: and together after around 7 months and 3 trips to India. Yesterday night we landed at Houston and the Immigration work took around an hour, because they didn't have my wife's details in the system yet. Finally they wrote the details and stamped her passport and congratulated us. My parents and other family friends were there to welcome us - it is a sweet welcome and we enjoyed it. We will be going to my place this coming Saturday.

We thank all the VJers for their help, guidence, support and encouragement. May the Almighty God bless you all.

Wow!!! Congrats Navyk on the beginning of a beautiful life.Enjoy the time it is yours for this moment both of you have waited for so long.

Congratulations and much happiness!
