Just popping in to say hello and check on you all....God Bless every one of you in your joys and your struggles! Prayers for each of you and all the positive vibes I can throw at ya.

My heart breaks for those in so much pain and suffering nervous breakdowns...I have felt the same way . Just know that though it does not seem like it...this too shall pass and you will start your new life together.I know its hard right now but you can do this !!! You are doing this and it will all be worth the pain and struggles,ups and downs .

I haven't forgotten all you wonderful supportive people.

As for me ...I am still sitting here in the Netherlands but we have plane tickets finally and a date with our new lives together in the USA just 3 weeks from now...May 30th !

So much to do after the approved interview...

We had to put our house up for sale and of course get it ready .Mail boxes,find a job for my husband who is a Software Engineer. We will move in with my parents for a few weeks...yes...praise God my mother is still alive at this point.

This last 3 weeks before POE are like the last 3 weeks of being preggo lol. Time drags and its a pain in the butt . We are about to give birth to our new life in the States as husband and wife...hang in there everyone the misery does end .((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

I'm approved! And CEAC shows issued! There was a moment of heart failure when the CO didn't think I was eligible, because my wife lives in Texas, a state that does NOT recognize same sex marriage.

Wishing good luck and happiness to everyone who needs it, everyone in alien punishment, everyone who wants it and everyone who's got an interview coming up.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.
