I've been through a LOT to get to this point. My friends tease me about being a legal 'Ah Lian' i.e., Chinese gal, but I know everyone is happy for me. Except for the embittered chap Adam S. who was 'arm-twisted' into approving my US visa :p ...
During the dark years in limbo waiting for something, anything to happen with my Permanent Resident application, and when things finally started happening (and going horribly awry), my hubsand and I frequently swore that some day, I would write about it, get our tale of horror and woe and governmental incompetence out there. But, only after I was safely in possession of the oh-so-coveted Green Card that everyone outside the USA apparently hankers after. So here we are.
Later!
