WE GOT THE VISA! WE GOT THE VISA!

Just talked to Fernanda. She was in the Taxi returning to the Hotel. Both of us are out of our minds with excitement and happiness now. I will be flying down on March 24. Me and my baby will fly home to Houston together on March 26!

Thanks to all of you that crossed your fingers or said a little prayer for us. And thanks to the entire VJ family for providing great information and making this long process seem like a "piece of cake"!

Congratulations! :dance::dance::dance:

My SO just came through Houston as the POE last month. He was one of the first in line and it took just under an hour for the planes wheels to touch down-pass through immigration, get te baggage, go through customs and walk out the door were I was waiting. The immigration part was easy, though my SO laughed and said they asked a lot of questions- kind like the interview all over again.

Have a safe trip back home! (F)
