Aww thanks Deborah! I so appreciate you:)

Yeah my hubby went on his own. I stayed home. He had to leave like at 4 this morning.

They were very nice. Only concerned with the list of docs they give you on the blue form that came with the invitation letter. Most of the other docs they put to the side and said they did not need it.

The African American lady is a star! My hubby said she made the process so much easier...

They asked him how we met and when we started dating and then approved!!! Oh Yeah Oh Yeah

He called me and I couldn't really speak. The process has been so long for us with doing this for UK and US and lots of tears during the whole thing, but now it's all done!!!!!

Glass of wine with you and your hubby when we come to Cali!?!? Thank you again precious lady:)

Thank you!!! Yes very relieved:) We have experienced the difficulties of this process both with my immigrating to the UK and now with him. It has been really tough.
