I haven't been around much lately because of work, so I haven't been able to update anything. But here it goes! My wife was approved at her interview, and she made it into the states yesterday! With a bit of a bump in there.

So, here's what happened in case anyone wants to know. My wife went to her interview (on Wednesday, 10/24) a little early, was eventually called up, and she presented everything. They only asked her a few basic questions, she showed receipts, pictures, chat logs and a few other things. In the end, they told her that they would like to approve her but they couldn't. The reason being that the police certificate was expired! They told her to get another one and make an appointment for another interview. That same day, after ranting angrily at/to me, she went to the police station to ask for another. They told her it would take 2 or 3 days, but somehow she managed to get it the same day. The next day, she went to get it authenticated and made an appointment. Luckily she managed to get an appointment for that Monday! I was sure it was going to take a few weeks. Finally, on Monday, she goes to the interview and takes everything with her just in case it's another full fledged interview. When it's her turn, she presents everything and gives them the new police certificate....

......... they tell her it wasn't necessary and they approved her! I was angry and excited.

After a mix-up with cargo expreso, the courier delivering the visa, my wife received her packet on the 9th of November. Yesterday, she made it to Fort Lauderdale, had no issues coming and now has a nice pretty stamp to look at, haha. She's spent/is spending yesterday, today and part of tomorrow in Miami with her family and a few of mine that live there. Then at 4:30PM EST tomorrow she boards a plane and at 7:55PM PST... plus 15 minutes for her to get off the plane and what not, she'll be in my arms, in San Francisco. <3

I'm incredibly excited and slightly nervous to be reunited with my beautiful wife! Thanks everyone at VJ.com for being so helpful and guiding us on this crazy journey we've had... tomorrow starts a new chapter in our continuing story book. Bless your hearts, thank you!

p.s. apologies for any typos if any haha
