I can't believe it. My husband was approved this morning at the embassy in Kingston Jamaica. The CO invited me into the interview and honestly I am so glad he did. He said he was concerned because my husband could not remember the date of my last trip to Jamaica. He just knew the month- so the CO told him to come get me when he found out I was waiting outside. He was a really nice guy. He asked me to give him the dates of some pictures; he asked me how many times since my wedding have I been to see my husband- and I said 8 and 14 times total. He was impressed by that because he said, and I quote, " and it's not like you are coming so often to see family or anything right? So you must be coming like every 2-3 months." And I said yes and with that my husband got approved. Not only that but the CO said we would have the visa in a week so we could fly back to the US together.

What a long and tiring day- but oh so worth it.

Thank you VJ for all your support and guidance throughout this journey. I couldn't have made it without yall.

BethAnn

Congrats and God Bless both of you!!
