My gosh seemed like the day would never come for you guys LOL
Congrats big time.
We have our AOS in and finger prints for her done. Just waiting game again.
 
Happy for you both and to all the May 2017 members

Wheeee!
arrived last night : )

He's here and we're finally together!!!! 

Hi guys , Finally married yesterday 

Hey everyone!!!!
 
I know it's been a while since you've heard from me but I haven't forgotten any of you!!! Reni and I are doing GREAT AND BEAUTIFULLY as it has been 3 weeks since his arrival. He gets along with my son extremely and surprisingly awesome because my son usually doesn't warm up to anyone for a while but you would have thought he's been around Reni the whole duration of our relationship so for me that is definitely reassuring and a blessing for us as a family.
 
This morning, Reni and I went to the Marriage Bureau/courthouse and picked up our marriage license and he and I will have a small, intimate ceremony Sunday, 7/22. Hopefully, we will be filing the AOS on 7/31/2018 but definitely no later than 8/3/2018. Truly happy Reni's mom is here in the US for work and she will be able to attend and see her son get married and meet my mom as well!!! Reni and I have decided we will have our "wedding" in March 2019 as that would be our 3 year anniversary of being in a relationship.
 
Hope all of you are doing well with your spouses! I know this thread will soon parish off as many of us are most likely in the AOS forum. Just wanted to say hey and that I miss talking to you all!!!!!
 
Much love and respect,
 
Trina

OMG....OUR VISA HAS BEEN ISSUED!!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!
@TeeSam

I would like to announce that we just got our visa approved yesterday  after 359 days lol 

It's been a long, tiresome day but WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!!

Visa Approved !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
After nearly 1 year of stress and many tears (may 5th 2017 filer) I was finally approved at Sydney Embassy on Tue !
after having our file lost, having to re do a whole new petition, under AP for a total of 11 weeks after First Noa2 in October 2017 , I really am in disbelief our visa is already on its way to me. 
Tue 24th interview 
Thursday 25th issued and collected for delivery. 
My tracking number says I will receive today. 
3 days from start to finish !
the gods were smiling down on us for the first time in this crazy journey 🙏
POE is 7th May, so spending my last week saying goodbye to my family and be very thankful ! 
 

My fiance interviewed today and was APPROVED!!!! I have been crying tears of joy since. Since the interview was scheduled last month, I had to disconnect myself from the site to maintain my sanity lol. I read past posts of visa denial and it was making me too anxious, so I had to focus on other things. It has been such a long road, just under a month to the day we applied for this. God is so good. I want to thank everyone for your advice and sharing your experiences. I know most of our group has been approved and even arrived to the states, but if anyone has questions for me please don't hesitate to ask.
 
I'm happy to move on to the next step of helping my fiance find a flight!!!!

Hi guys I have been in my interview today ,and i have been approved

Wow everything moving really fast now! Interview on April 30th!

And I just received my email, text and the USCIS app has FINALLY updated saying CASE APPROVED!!!! 
 
So, it's official guys!!!

It has started to finally hit me that we have gotten approved!!!!
 
I really want to thank you ALLLLLLLL again for EVERYTHING....other than childbirth this was one of the hardest things that I've experienced and when I tell you that I thought this day would never come! I'm here crying and for the first time in a long time I'm crying happy tears!!!!! My King and I will be able to finally move on to our next steps!!!! 
 
I consider you all my extended and blended family because without you guys, I'm telling you, I wouldn't have made it. Your words of encouragement and strength held me down when at times others thought I was crazy to keep going. 
 
THANK YOU.....THANK YOU......THANK YOU!!!!!! 

@AnaUmo....you are a God send!!! 
 
After 305 days of waiting which is 10 months and 5 days....RENI AND I HAVE BEEN APPROVED (APPROVAL DATE MARCH 22ND)

Just received my NOA2 in the mail. Very happy now. It only took 277 days to get lol 😂. Life is getting better. 

Visa in hand! POE March 15th! 
 
@Trinab80 I literally only come back here now to check on your updates . We're both Still praying for you! <3 

Congrats on your NOA2!!! I pray every day and night that I received ours the same way you just described. I hope that we can cross the finish line if not next to you, coming up right after you from one JA petitioner to another!!!
 
Reading your post just brought tears to my eyes because I have so many people pulling for me here, and without you guys telling me to push forward, I would have given up by now!!! This is so hard and it hurts like hell!!!

visa in hand today, exactly 10 months from I-129F -- I guess what doesn't kill you surely makes you stronger!
My continued prayers for those who are still waiting, and congrats to those that survived the past 9+ months of limbo with their relationship, optimism, and sanity still intact   God bless!

POE was smooth and very fast, no questions asked. Finally together with my love! 

Received the passport back with Visa today
