Hello fellow VJers!

Yes, tonight is the night! Pu will have her interview at the US Embassy in Bangkok tonight (morning in Thailand). I just want to thank all the members that have helped us get this far, and also thank all the well wishers for your messages of encouragement over the last few days.

We're both really anxious about this, as so much rides on a stranger's perception of our relationship. I'm sure you can understand! :unsure::thumbs:

Thanks again, and I will post the outcome later tonight.

Turns out there is a clerical error on Pu's passport. The Embassy had her get a new one. She will go back on Monday, and hopefully everything will be ok this time.

Thanks for all your good wishes.
