Dale just called me with the news!!! Success at the USEM! I will sleep tonight a happy dude, one of the best moments of my life. A huge thank you to anyone and everyone who contributes to this site and its forums. I echo the responses of others before us that say without this website we would have been lost. I honestly don't know how in the world couples can succeed with this process without the same help we received here. We never did get any letter of instruction at all from the embassy (packet 3). We got all that info here on this site but unless you find this site in time how can the embassy expect applicants to know what to bring? I feel sorry for what must be a large number of applicants who come to the interview only to be blindsided with what they should have brought with them. What an emotional journey! Just the CFO and plane tickets to deal with now. Good Luck to those that will follow and we will stay in touch throughout Dale's journey to be with me in the US.

Congrats!! I know the feeling! It was all smiles as we walked out of the embassy that day.

Of course there is another day coming that will make this day dim in comparison.
