It’s been 8 months since Win has submitted our petition. And he has gone back twice (July and december) since May, although others may find this a short wait, it is different when you are in this position away from your love one.

We try to keep the optimism through our frequent conversation. I also start to prepare our documents needed for the interview. It is February and any day now the schedule for the March interview will be posted. We are hoping that we will be blessed to have our schedule. (crossing fingers)
