We did it!!! P.O.E las week (review here http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-poe-reviews.php?entry=15350). It was one of the greatest moments of my life. We got married in a civil ceremony on Friday. It was beautiful.

We have moved into a nice 1 bedroom apartment. Everything is unpacked, furniture is here, christmas tree is up and the place is decorated. My Fed Ex boxes of stuff has arrived. Theres still a couple of picture frames to be put up. We have the Fox Soccer channel so I was able to watch Spurs play yesterday. I am fully insured on Elora's car so can drive around and pick her up from work. This week I am going to join a gym and sort out my bank account, as well as sending A.O.S. I feel so at home.

My parents flew out for the wedding and they fly home today. Its been nice having them here but we are ready to just start normal life together now and not be tour guides.

I cannot explain to you how happy we are. The last few months have been so hard for us because Elora has been in school and working full time. But now she has finished and she graduated tuesday. I have my job lined up to begin in April and we will be together, living the regular life we dreamed off.

Thanks to everyone on here who helped us. I will be on here to help others when I can and over at the other forums for the next stage.

Trust me....it's all worth it. We are so happy.

Congratulations so happy for you guys.

How's your AOS coming along.

Bit of SSN advice. I saw on visa journey many times to wait two weeks for details to be in the system. I applied for one the day after arriving and I received mine today only took six days
