My wife had her interview today in Bangkok, and she passed! :dance:

Thanks God and all who prayed for us and kept us in their thoughts!

The long hard journey is winding down.

She got the infamous woman at window #5, and she made her laugh, :D and she got her Visa.

I hope to have her in my arms by Christmas!

Hang in there if you are still waiting, one small step at a time, and then finally it's over.

Mega Congrats!

"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!" - Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945.
