Thanks a ton to VJ forum helping us go through this journey, I can't imagine without this forum how we could go through the process and get all the information we got here. Probably now I can laugh at it, from VJ it is not just my husband and I who became knowledgeable but also a very well known law firm in NY/NJ as well. Based on the information we had, my husband and I had to educate our lawyer to do the necessary step by step and still they made mistakes that costed us time and not to speak about the lump some money that we are going to shell out on them. Based on this bitter experience we both are smarter when it comes to lawyers now and no regrets as it was just my husband's love towards me that he insisted on hiring him so that things don't go wrong :star: (Now I can say that ... after grumbling to him many times how dumb the lawyer is B)

My interview is on 28th August 8:00 A.M......... :dance: :dance: :dance: Now suddenly I don't know where to start from....packing and getting ready for the interview.... and to join my husband.... :star:

Thanks a ton again folks and wish you all the others a faster and smooth journey... I will have most of you all in my prayers.
