Thanks Lisa!! I think I'm more excited than hubby is :lol: but I think he's happy to be able to vote and all that jazz. Just waiting now for his oath letter, which the officer said could be after the first of the year.

Watch - he'll then get called for jury duty. :lol:

It must be odd for him, I don't know how I'd feel if I were in his shoes..

But a BIG CONGRATS on getting out from under that I-864! (I jest, I jest)

At the end of the day, you will never have to deal with Immigration issues for Chas ever again, I'm sure you're walking on air :)

Thanks Robin! :D

And yeah, I'm happy in the sense that he will be US citizen, he can come and go as he pleases, he can vote, etc. But I will miss actually doing immi paperwork TERRIBLY. :crying: I wish my job were doing this all day every day, I really do.
