Hi everyone,

 

I would like to share that after five years my husband's journey is finally coming to an end. We filed sent his naturalization application on November 23 and today we received his interview letter in the mail, it's scheduled for February 27th. There were a few naysayers who said we wouldn't last or that his immigration journey would be an uphill battle, that our marriage wouldn't last because our difference in culture and religion, that because I am 20 years older he would leave me as soon as he received his 10 year green card. I am happy to report, none of that was true. From the day I sent his I-130 up to and including his naturalization the process has literally been uneventful and quick. We never received any RFE's at any point and he wasn't called in for an interview when removing conditions. We did the entire process from beginning to end 100% on our own with help from the Visa Journey community after his I-130 was approved and never at any point did we use an attorney.

 

I would like to thank so many in this community who gave us advice and support during his journey. If anyone ever needs help or advice, please feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to help if I am able. 

 

Once again, thank you one and all and wish us luck in February!

Yay! congrats! I had a few people stating me and my husband would not work out. In fact, I was bullied out of a job because of a co-workers dislike and disbelief of our relationship (looking back on hindsight - jealousy maybe?) However, we are coming up 6 years together, and our 4th wedding anniversary is next month. So glad you are nearing the end of your immigration journey together.

Thank you. I think perhaps in the beginning people were looking out for my best interests, especially here on Visa Journey and members of my family. People here have have seen and heard a lot and when heard we have such a big age difference people wanted to protect me from being taken for a ride. I'm happy that they were so protective of me :). The same holds true for a few family members.

Sorry that you were bullied, luckily I didn't face that and I'm glad you got through it and that you're still together!
