I had my medical yesterday and I had been scared that they see some kind of infection in my lungs, because that would have blocked everything for at least 6 weeks. It was reassuring to see I didn't have anything. I have my sealed envelope.

My interview is today but I'm not getting my hopes up too high as I'm not sure I'll be let into the embassy. I've been preparing myself to be turned away at the doors.

It would be heartbreaking if it happens but at least our wedding is for October 10 and we can wait some more.

I'll update you guys. If I don't update, just know its because I'm too sad to write.

It's terribly unfair that we have to go through such emotionally draining events to get married. I just want to be with the person I love.

We know a couple who have started dating only a year ago and are already married (both are Americans). My relationship with my fiancé has been more serious than theirs, and longer, yet we are the ones who have to go through a long and tiring process to get married.

Anyway I'll stop rambling. I don't want to bring the general mood down! I'm just a little stressed and already heartbroken at the thought I could be turned away.

We have contacted a senator and they assigned us a caseworker, so at least we have that.
