My husband just got his visa approval today!! It feels like a second wedding day because they are finally letting my man come HOME. crying.gif yes we cried!

Thank you everyone who put up with my fretting and thank you everyone who read and commented and thank you ESPECIALLY to the mainstays on this forum who always have a word of sense and advice. I won't name you because I don't want to accidentally leave anyone out, but you know who you are smile.png

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

All advice is given pursuant to the Disclaimer that you may read at the bottom of each forum page.

LATEST STEPS:

28 Jun 2013: POE Houston

08 Jul 2013: SSN received (at SSA office)

07 Aug 2013: Green Card received

27 Feb 2014: Whoa, life happened. Planning move "back home" together to Republic of Ireland by end of April.

29 Apr 2014: POE Dublin through Heathrow

15 May 2014: Received formal residency/work permission (GNIB card with Stamp 4, one year renewable) for the ROI

For my FULL timeline, see my "About Me" page.
