Thanks guys. :)

Hello and welcome! Has your wife filed the I-130 petition yet?

She has indeed! From what I understand it was forwarded to the California Service Center. Yeah. Probably the service center in mainland USA that's the farthest away from both PA and Sweden. lol

My wife created a profile and a timeline on here a week ago, roughly. Is there any way I can incorporate that in my profile?

She has received some sort of receipt that they have accepted the I-130 and payment and stuff...

Excellent! I don't think there is any way to transfer or link into other timelines, but you can just copy the dates she's put down in your own.

I hope all goes well :)

Welcome. My USC wife and I will be moving to Florida in two months. We will be back to Sweden a bit for the first few months though as we have yet to sell the apartment and ship everything.

Thank you. I'm not taking anything for granted, and I am keeping my fingers crossed. But I hope/think there shouldn't be too many problems. I truly love my wife with all my heart and I feel she feels the same way about me. Our marriage most certainly is a real bonafide marriage, so I'm hoping my application for residency is mostly a technicality. I have nothing to hide, I have no criminal past etc... I have high hopes of being granted admission to come share my life with my wife and her family in Pittsburgh.

I have always had a talent for English. Personally I wish I was better at it, but I often get compliments. When I visited my wife last summer (2010) several people wondered whatever happened with my accent. I'm not that good, though, but I get by alright. The yinzer slang will offer some challenges though, I fear.
