Congratulations. You deserve to be happy and together. Hope the rest of the process moves very rapidly for you.

We did not submit any wedding pics, affidavits, phone logs, emails nothing. Only a copy of the marriage certificate. Did not discover VJ until long after submitting the I-130. Hence did not know that we should have.

We were approved (NOA2) on 1/22/14.

Congratulations!

Love is a gift and not to be earned, therefore one should never hold any regrets for giving love regardless of the outcome...
