Tonight on my way home in horrible Los Angeles traffic after a 14 hour day of filming in the sun, I got a text message to check the USCIS website and - what do you know - our petition has been approved! I was so excited that I immediately called and woke up the fiance to tell him. It made the drive bearable and made me forget how exhausted I was. It also came after a week of very bad news for me, so I am very appreciative of the timing.



Now onto London! :)



Thank you to everyone who has helped make the process a little bit easier :)


I am the USC/petitioner.

Holy #######! Considering that we are both in LA, both filed in December, and both were at CSC, I was pulling for you to get yours soon, and confused when I got mine in April and you didn't.

I'm super happy for you! Best of luck!

What would Xenu do?
