We fell off again lmao

Sorry, Nicola&Matthew.... i hope it wasnt coz of my post... if so my bad.

Met Bindu for the 1st time at School/College & ended up going to the same Uni (not planned). We fell in love by the end of uni. I had my greencard (via family since I was 16) and was about to lose it if I didn’t move to USA. Bindu and I decided we'd be better off in America so I moved to charlotte Nov 2000. We never imagined we be apart this long (5+ yrs now)… maybe we made the wrong choice, but I doing really well as far as work and we still love each other like crazy even though we only see each other 2or3 time a year…. thank god for telephones and internet. Its taken long time for our I-130 coz when I applied I was a geencard holder not a citizen. We’re hoping it will be all over soon (by August 4th 2006 my b’day, would be best gift I ever got) and Bindu and I will live happily ever after.....

Time Line -

11/20/00 - Moved to Charlotte NC from London on Greencard

02/20/02 - Married Bindu here in Charlotte (Small court wedding, big indian wedding planed for 2005)

I-130

6/25/02 - Filled I-130 for Bindu from Charlotte NC (Me still on greencard)

1/20/06 - I became US citizen

04/10/06 - I-130 - APPROVED by USCIS

NVC

05/05/06 - New NVC case numbers entered into system

Further to my last post(can't seem to edit my post anyway), I was thinking about the difficulties we have had in keeping everyone's names on this list and I would like to volunteer to update the list for everyone on a regular basis. Does anyone have any objections?

I was thinking that maybe we should link this thread to a brand new thread and start all over again, with the most up-to-date list as the first post. Then maybe do what Pax has done on the London Interviews 2006 thread.
