Well the medical is done...Now the wait.. But I have it easier then Veronica..She has to do the interview..I'll go to bed tonight..Awake in the morning..call her and get the news.. So I will sleep 7-8 hours of the 28...

It's been along a stressful journey and trust me it only gets tougher as you get closer to the interview.. as you know she will be here soon..but you have that last major step..

Each step is hard but with each beginning step you know you have awhile yet..So you keep that emotional wall up alittle..but after NVC things happen faster in paperwork..but not in totally time getting together.. as it takes a similar amount of time between the NOA1 and NOA2 and NVC and Interview... at least in my case.. but you are busier with the paperwork and that helps.. but it also reminds you daily of what your waiting for.. and then you are down to 30 days..till interview..3 weeks...2 weeks.. 1 week..and then days..hours.. but this is the time it's also very hard..Your SO is so very close..but you also know that one wrong thing in the paperwork can take everything away ..

This has been a Journey... and it wears you out.. I've been on this board less in the resent weeks because of the emotional toll it takes on you..

Was it worth it.. .Hell Yes... Would I do it again... Won't need too.. :) ..I'm a Happy....I have No Words for the happiness I feel.. Now Let me totally feel everything tomorrow after I book her flight...

Thank God... For Visa Journey..!
