Haha that is not very old at all!! So after the interview will it be going back to pink?

Most likely, yes;) I feel WRONG with brown hair (no offense meant to all the lovely brunette people out there).

LOL. I am not THAT old. I will be 38 this June. BUT hearing about birthdays in late 80s makes me FEEL old. I have also been going through a bit of an age crisis lol. Mind you, my hair has been pink for years, and I only recently dyed it as I said before, so my Dad has always told me that although I may be 38 people cant tell as I ACT so immature;)

I gave up my two tone brown and purple hair for the interview. I thought I was the only one!

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

Ok. So do you all think that my husband signing the AOS in blue ink is going to be a problem? I just got the original, and his signature is in blue ink. Are they going to care at the consulate? Am I over thinking?
