Good morning,
Hello Sub-Saharan family! I hope everyone is well. My new husband
and I have been so busy planning our wedding, getting him acclimated to the US (and us to each other), and enjoying being newlyweds. We were married on March 8th -what a glorious day it was!! I'll try to post some pictures soon. I've tried to post some before, but I kept receiving an error message that the file size was too large. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out.
We sent our AOS package on April 10th. By the grace of God our case was transferred to CSC! No interview!
We recently received e-mails from USCIS that the EAD & AP have been approved. What a relief. My husband had to stop working in April when his temp EAD expired. It was starting to get to him -not being able to work...or even drive. He's almost completely dependent on me. I strive to be supportive. But thank the Lord he'll be able to work again soon and can get his license with the EAD.
We're so happy to finally be together under one roof. It's an amazing feeling. Sometimes I still find it hard to believe that he's here. Sure we have our fair share of "growing pains", but that comes with the territory.
I would like to thank everyone for your prayers and support during our journey. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this website is truly a Godsend! To all the newer members whom I haven't had the chance to interact with yet, I wish you many blessings on your process. I would also like to express my empathy to those who are in AP right now. I've been there. Sometimes it can be pure hell. Please continue to pray and have faith! No matter the outcome, the Lord will bring you through.
God bless,
Shanon

Hi Shanon, I am glad to hear all is well. Would like to see some wedding pics. Try cropping them a little that helped me load them, or resize
them on photobucket.

Thanks for the update. It's great to hear things are going well and smoothly. Congratulations on the approvals and the movement on your AOS. We're eagerly awaiting pictures of your happy day together. I resized some pictures in whatever edit program is on my computer and then uploaded and it accepted.

Oh My!
I could not stop looking at all of those beautiful pictures. I was planning on going to bed, but once I got started, I could not stop. You both look completely in love. Such a great photograher, but mostly, such a beautiful couple. Congratulations.
