Well, my fiance will be arriving at SFO in just a couple of hours. I checked the flight status, and they are on-time, so that is good news. I am anxious but very excited to have this part of our journey finally ending. Thank you to all of my friends on VJ. I never would have stayed sane if not for this website and the valuable advice of my friends here. I would also like to report that happily my in-laws all were approved for their tourist visas and the whole family will be here for our wedding in December. We have been very blessed on this journey. Good luck to everyone who is still in the process and know that one day you will be together again. The wait is awful, and sometimes you will just want to give up and run away and hide. But it is worth waiting for the person you love. Hugs especially to all of our Brasil friends who are on their way to the US soon!

Thank you for all of your kind words! His arrival was everything I had hoped it would be! I will post a review later of our POE at SFO. It went very smoothly. We spent all day with my family giving him a chance to visit with my brothers. :) They were nice to him luckily. He fits right in. We are very happy to be together again. It was a long process but well worth the wait!
