Yahoooo!

I got the NOA2 in mail Friday!

She's starting this week to get the medical part taken care of. Getting needed shots and medical history together.

Military and police reports in process too.

We are hoping to have interview soon after the beginning of the year if all keeps going as well as it is.

Wedding if February, fingers crossed!

Thank you both very much! It's such a great feeling to know I finally get to be with my Fiancé! I'm very excited. Checked on the status earlier and it's being processed :). I know it takes a few days so I guess I'll just keep checking on. Hopefully not too long now until I have the visa in hand!
