I am the happiest man on earth .

After two years of filling , we were put in admin processing and were told to change the term on our marriage certificate because we had opted for polygamy .It took us 2 months to do that and what made it even more challenging is that I could not make the trip to Dakar .fortunately there were other ways to do that via the power of attorney

My wife was finally approved today for her visa without any setback .

thank God and thank all the support I have obtained from this forum .It gave me hope and helped me keep my sanity lol

particular thanks to all of you with whom I have been corresponding .

Feel free to ask me questions if you are going thru the same issue as I was ill be more than happy to give you my little cent.

Congrats !!!!

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I knew no other way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'. So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
