Just wanted to let you guys know that after being in AP since May 21, we were requested to send in his passport on July 22, exactly two months later, sent in the passport about a week later, and just checked the website today and they have issued our visa, WOOHOO!!!!

Such a mixture of emotions, I cant even describe it. Dont loose hope or get utterly upset if you get or were put in AP. Sometimes, as in our case, they dont really have a good reason to put you on AP, they might be backed up with background checks that they didnt get to yours or arent completely finished, or I dont know were ordered not to issue anything that particular day or week, who knows. just DONT LOOSE HOPE!

Good luck to everyone who is still going through this process. We are done with one journey, about to step into the next, this one will be much easier to conquer as we will be together hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder through everything without needing technology to connect us.

I hope you all get great news as soon as possible and get back to life, as I havent really had a life and wont till he gets here :D

well, anywho, good luck :)
