My wife became a US Citizen on October 1st 2010. The end of a 5+ year journey and the beginning of a new chapter for all of us.

We are so grateful for all the advice, support and good vibes from our Visa Journey family. What an amazingly loving, giving group of people. Thank you to those who started this site and to all of those who participate in making this invaluable resource a sanctuary of knowledge, empathy, comfort and optimism.

Love and best wishes to all,

-Mr. & Mrs. Q
