good news
we got a the letter from immigration yesterday, the letter we've been waiting almost a year for. michelle is finally, and officially a us resident. god what a load off our chests, it's so relieving to know that we're not going to have to take her case to court and have to spend ungodly amounts of money on a lawyer. i didn't even know how we were going to be able to afford a lawyer, i don't work, neither does she, we probably would've had to bum money off of my grandpa which i really hate doing. we read on a website that with cases like ours, where we have to petition via affidavit to keep her in the country, that about 70-90% of the affidavits get denied, so luckily we managed to stay in that 30-10% of approval.
so we don't have to worry about any of that anymore. no more threats of deportation are looming over our heads.
and now we can finally travel, michelle will be able to leave the states without being kicked out of the us permanently, so if we want to go visit her family down in chile we can, and when we get the money saved up for our european tour we can do that as well.
tomorrow will mark one year of michelle and i being married, so one more year of marriage until michelle can apply for the greencard, which means she won't have to have a sponsor anymore, she'll be free to live however she wants to here.
i don't think i've ever been so relieved in my life, it seriously feels like a big thick black cloud that has been in my head has blown away.
