Though I was quite stressed given what happened last time I sat at SFO waiting for Tim to process through immigration, this time, thanks to the magic of a K1 visa, he was through in a snap. He was one of the first off the plane, he was the second in line at the appropriate booth, behind another couple, and the immigration official took his envelope, opened it, took a peek, stamped his passport, stuck in the I-94, said "you know you've got 90 days, right?" and said, "Cheers" - sending Tim on to baggage claim. He got his stuff, breezed through customs and was done and dusted with ease. Just like that. I'm still shocked. But in the best way possible.

So that's that. Until after the wedding anyway.

Thanks to all!
