After 338 days (11.27 months) of waiting agony, I checked my case status this morning when I got into work and lo and behold "Approved".

I had to read it 4 times just to be sure I got it right and then I jumped and screamed for joy (always an attention getter in the law firm I work).

My dear sweet intelligent, playful and beautiful future wife is coming!

Yeah Baby!!!
