Well we made it through the gauntlet and just wanted to say how helpful this forum has been, although i see by the timeline that we still have some paperwork to go through so we'll keep in touch. Gary and I feel really fortunate to recieve the visa in just less than 6 months(yes, my government has done something for me!) We will post his Embassy experience when he gets here. To make it even sweeter, our first anniversary is Feb 14th and we will spend it together. I feel that we were truely meant for each other. To everyone still waiting, our thoughts are with you.
