Finally our journey has come to an end after we started our application for a K-1 4.5 years ago. Today I had my citizenship ceremony yay!!! No more dealing with USCIS!

Thanks to everyone who helped us, especially Nich-Nick who went above and beyond to assist us.

Hang in there K-1'ers, it's a long road but you'll get there :)

Wow, congrats! That's a big relieved.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat

It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you don't stop
