We met at work in 2006 while I was a J1 and became fast friends. Started dating about 1 month before I had to leave the country January of 2008. had a long distance relationship of about 1 year until I returned on a extended tourist visa for about 1 year. Had to leave the country again and finally returned September of 2010 after 6 month of not seeing each other. Got legally married 7/14/11 and had a lovely wedding with family and friends 8/4/12. Received my new greencard on birthday last November!!!
