The Final Countdown....

We are finally starting to see the finish line.  Today, we applied for K's U.S. Immigrant Visa and completed the medical checkup.  Unfortunately, she had to have one vaccination for Measels, Mumps, & Rhubella (MMR).  Not an inexpensive injection, I might add. So, tomorrow we will return to the US Embassy to pick up her new Visa & then, we'll be ready to head home!!!  Of course, with only 2 flights out of Kiev every day, we wouldn't be able to make the late flight, so we'll be leaving Friday morning.  We should arrive in Houston after lunch time.  It will be a long day, but much celebrated (at least by me)!!!

So, this will be my last post until after we arrive in Houston.  I will continue to update this site with K's status & progression to American life.  So, stay tuned....

Thanks to everyone for all of your love, support, friendship, guidance, advice, patience, and many other adjectives I might be leaving out.  You are all wonderful & we value you more than you could ever know!

See you on the flip-side!

  3. Money, honey!!! Not every region will have a judge that will waive it, but if there's a chance, it's worth every penny!
