What a fantastic end to 2012 and incredible start to2013. It has been a while since I logged on to VisaJourney. I have been so busywith bringing my fiancé to USA and getting married. Once we got the great newsthe visa has been issued by US consulate in Tunis, we found out that she needsto travel to USA prior Nov 12, I went to Tunis on 11-3-12 to bring my lovelywife back to USA, we came back to USA on 11-5-12, we were so worried thatimmigration at JFK might give my fiancé some hard time since her first name is Jihedbut we were pleasantly surprised that immigration officer was very nice and theonly question she asked her was when are we getting married and she welcomedher to USA.

We got married on 11/9 in a mosque and the reception wason 11/10 in a Turkish restaurant. It was not a very big ceremony but most of myclose family, friends and colleagues were invited and most importantly we had afantastic time.

I filed for AOS in January 2013 and waiting forBiometrics and work permit.

2012 started as a nightmare when my wife case was put inAdmin Processing after her interview on Feb 23 it ended with best news was whenmy wife found out that she is pregnant in the first month after our marriage. Iam very blessed to have a lovely wife and the gift of baby from Allah in thesame year.

It has been a fantastic journey for me, there were timeswhen I doubted myself but thank god that we were strong and never wavered fromour commitment to each other.

Thanks again for all the support and well wishes from myfellow members.

Have a fantastic 2013.
