I'm pretty certain that it only asks for the previous 10 years for work history, rather than your ENTIRE work history if that helps at all. :)

Yeah, I meant 10, but for me 10 years is almost my entire life haha. Seriously though I was in middle school in 2004, I wasn't able to work if I wanted to. But I did find my old records of employment so it gives me a good timeline if I end up needing it! Might as well prepare :)

We just finished with her interview this morning and everything went well. The actual interview was only about 5-6 minutes, the rest of the time was just waiting for them to get around to her. They didn't ask for any pictures, any convos, no proof of anything. Just certificates and that was it.

Bringing someone from a MENA country can be so bad but in our case either we got lucky, or to be realistic, it may be that much easier if the beneficiary is female and christian. I could be wrong but I'm just glad it worked out. We are so relieved that this process is just about over. They said the VISA should be delivered in about a week.

Thanks for all of the advice from everyone and if anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck to everyone!

The warmth of true friendship and the love that binds the hearts of husband and wife are a foretaste of heaven. God has ordained that there should be perfect love and perfect harmony between those who enter into the marriage relation. Let bride and bridegroom in the presence of the heavenly universe pledge themselves to love one another as God has ordained they should. {LYL}

Thought to share our journey for those who need the encouragement!
