My beautiful wife has arrived in the US and we are together at last. Her entry visa was without questions. Only a request for signature and fingerprints. The most painful part was the FIVE HOUR wait in line. Los Angeles was poorly understaffed on a Saturday night. Only two immigrant interview workers at the time 11 planes arrived at the international terminal. It all seems like only a few seconds now.
