Congratulations, but you are wrong about your journey being ended. It sounds like it is just beginning! You have so much still ahead af you. I hope the rest all goes smoothly for you. The biggest challenges now are the ones that concern the success or failure of your relationship. Your involvement with government agencies will be smooth if your relationship proves to be true and good but you still have many forms to fill out, fees to pay, and interviews to attend. Good luck!
