I just wanted to pass on my congratulations to you and your husband. Your story gives those of us still struggling through this (sometimes atrociously painful) process hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

Congratulations once again and here's to your new chapter together!

Thank you so much 😊 

 

We are thrilled and cannot wait!

 

Our story is not ordinary nor for the faint of heart, but we have annihilated all the red flags! Goes to show you -- couples who are in a similar situation, you can go against the grain and still win. If the relationship is genuine and you can prove it, USCIS will not stand in your way.  

 

Going in, I was sure that we would be judged by the USCIS, but now I see that they are not there to judge our choices (of whom we choose to spend our lives with). They are not there to cast their personal opinions, hence deny or grant, but make sure that the relationship is genuine, fits the legal structures of this country (marriage age etc.) and that is that.

 

It was painstaking hard work gathering our paperwork and I put in 3 whole months organizing and laying things out on paper so that the USCIS/NVC and anyone in between would understand the how, when and whys of our relationship. 

 

Utilize VJ fully! Be prepared. Breath. Keep living and loving. Did I say be prepared!?  

 

Wishing you all the best. Stay in touch please.

Keep us posted on how his airport  experience will be one his arrives and goes through  cbp and have safe flight. 

Sorry for the delay, but here is hubby's POE review:

 

Hubby landed at Dulles Airport at 8.40 am, was in line around 9.15 am and came out around 10.25 am! The customs line was long and it took him some time, but he was not pulled into a room etc. -- all was very straightforward and quick once he made it to the end of the line!

He told me that the officer was very friendly and started joking around with him as soon as my husband handed his sealed envelopes to him. They were thick ones and we did not know what they contained until the officer opened them up.

The officer said, "Come on man, you are killing me, you are suppose to make it easy on me, what is up with these thick envelopes?" and laughed. 

Then he opened everything up and to my husband's surprise, the envelopes contained my front loading handiwork! Ha! Pages and pages of our chats, all the photos -- so the Officer looked at the pics and said:

"Oh wow, so tell me about this...how did this happen?"

My hubby answered and then they had what seemed like a causal convo.

"Oh, I see that your wife is not Indian, what does your family think of that?"

Hubby answered the same way he did when we were at his interview. He behaved like he always does with people he meets, respectful, chilled and smiles and laughs, talks, but does not joke around. 

That is it!

The office then said, Welcome to the United States and when my hubby asked if he would get the papers back, the Officer said, "oh no you don't get them back."

He was treated with respect and the officer was friendly and relaxed. Love how he was welcomed HOME!
