  • Our Story
    ~ This is Our (updated) Love Story ~

    That began long ago in 2005... that is hard to believe. I met my future husband but I didn't even know it at the time. I was blindsided at the time and engaged to another man that I thought I could help and fix so to speak. My husband was the best friend, and filled that list of qualities I was looking for in a mate, we wanted the same thing in life and had the same values. It was through a life-endangering trip, loss of a best friend who put my life in danger, and a break up, that at last things came to the point of complete and sole dedication and committment to my love, my husband, my best friend and partner. I have not regretted our marriage, though for those who read our story it has included 3 years as man and wife not able to live in the same house under the same roof. Our visa was denied, something that if you had told me prior I would have not believed it. After a year and a half of waiting, the denial of visa was reapproved. And we are now awaiting our future interview. I am excited about the future! I felt this would kill and age our bodies, it has been so painful, to call your loved one - for example, when they are under stress and to not be able to jump on a plane to be with them. We survived the death of loved ones, the suicide of best friend, the loss of my only baby - a cat - but none the less an old lifelong baby...lol, and financial loss and stress, parents illness, loss and betrayal of friendships, and more. I felt in that year and a half we felt a lifetime of suffering. And that is most peoples lives now a days, yet we had to do it without the emotional and close physical comfort of each other. Calling the network of Nigeria is so difficult and unstable, that even if life was hard you couldn't always have that person you loved comforting you. Because phone calls and bills were stacking you couldn't always have freedom. We gave up a lot for each other, but we have formed our own family - and we have learned the best and worst of each other, we are at ease and complete comfort with one another. There is nothing to replace that. And I am proud of my hubby for what he has endured. The bible says that a threefold cord will make a marriage solid. I know that to be true, it makes it imperfect but also solid, I thank our creator for allowing us to cope somehow. That is our story thus far. I hope to reporting shortly about our future, our togetherness, our family!

  1. Wow, almost a year since I came onto Visa Journey. My husband has been at home for almost a year, it still feels like a dream at times. For those who knew us on Visa Journey, we were the couple who were denied, reapproved, and after almost 4 years of marriage (most of which had to be apart physically) we got our visa in 2010. My husband and family are comfortable and at ease, which I value greatly. Being together now really took all that panic out of my body, but it took a couple of month...

      Yeah! Am glad to come to terms that you actually replied this but must have been after I got to the states. Life has been good, all glory be to God. I hope it's been the same on your side. How is your hubby now am sure he must be used to life now. It's a big transition and I now have a true picture of what you were saying back then. All the best!

      That had to be heartbreaking! I'm so glad you've got your husband with you! God is great! I do wish you would update you entire story and explain where the process went wrong for you! I really feel we could all learn from your experience, especially since Nigeria is where we are trying to retrieve our loved ones too! We're looking to all of you now "Teachers" for answers. All the best and blessings to you and your family here and abroad!
