well, this is it.. in less than 3 hrs, i will become a us citizen.. maybe not a big deal to some, but when i look back at what i have gone thru to get here, i can't help but be a little bit emotional.. my path was certainly not an easy journey.. lots and lots of sacrifices ( i won't bore you of my personal story, but know that i was once out-of-status ).. relieved that those are all behind me now, and in less than 3 hrs. i can call myself an american.. anyway, i have to go... wife is wondering why it is taking me so long to get out of my bathroom.. :) :) :) ...

Congrats and way to go!!:dance:

We know how you feel. My wife should have her ceremony next week and we will be done and her a proud citizen. My buddy just got his NOA2 yesterday for his fiance' (friend of my wife). But they have only completed 3 of the 28 steps the rest of us have. Don't envy him, but glad for you and my wife.

Enjoy this special moment & day as a Citizen.
