:dance: We want to thank everyone for their prayers, support, information, and kind words! Today my husband was approved for his CR-1 visa and we will be returning to the US together!!! The interview was stressful, because I was confused and only brought copies of the necessary documents instead of the ORIGINALS! :hehe: But only by the grace of god did they say we were OK but we must send the originals by DHL. Then they will send the visa to us. It will take one week and we will then plan our journey to the US! MY husband says, "don´t forget...believe in god and everything will work out well in your life!" :star:

Many blessings,

Starsearcher (F)
