I wish time went by faster, but due dates slower ...

Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil

Yeah, I do, but apparently she's a bit camera shy and would move away from clear view. Haha. So, my wife and I might be the only ones that can recognize what're in the pictures. Yeah, I didn't talk too much about it until it was more viable. It has all major body parts and all blood tests turned out A-ok.
Well, she got her green card within weeks of arriving in the U.S. A visa simply allows her entry into the country. We, as U.S. citizens, pretty much have a global visa ... We can go to almost any country we please without having to apply for more than a passport.
Many other countries have to apply for certain visas for entry into the United States. Some have work visas, student visas, tourist visas, or immigrant visas. For my wife, I applied for a spousal visa (immigrant), so she received permanent residence here on the spot.
The process itself is a back and forth process. Send in some paperwork, wait a month for a response, then repeat. The key is following the direction EXACTLY as they say to. I made some assumptions on an application that cost me an extra month of wait time. But the U.S. government wants a ton of proof from picures, letters, e-mails, chat logs, etc - all of which will help prove the marriage's authenticity (even though anyone can do it).
Then, she had to fly to the mainland of her country to do an American approved medical examination and interview at the U.S. Embassy in Manila. For her medical examination, she had to line up at the hospital at 3:00AM because they were first come, first serve. She had to spend over a month at my relative's home with little else to do, but wait to see if my petition was approved.
Ah well, that was in June/July anyhow. Once she got here, it was rabbit season. Hence why she's pregnant.
