Thanks for the concern Dennis! i'm realistic, we revised what we have send and noticed an omission and additional info obtained after filling, we have the hesitation syndrom lol, whether to send them or not, and expectinf for an rfe. In the same time i improve my english, so it's not a loss of time and for now, i have no problem waiting a bit more, it's only 1 direction and very aware it's the hardest one, especially now when they have tighten the rules...so that's fine. So good route for the next phase!!!!! i'll read you...Your fiancee must be in cloud 9!!!
