It's official: viva visa!

We have an official alien fiancee in the family! After four hours of standing in lines, taking numbers, filling out information, and 10 minutes of an interview, God graciously granted Tim and Nikki favor in the eyes of the officials, and they have been officially approved for the fiancee visa. Thanks be to God!!!

So, this means that Nikki has 6 months to cross the border. Once she crosses the border, she has 90 days to get married and apply for a permanent residence visa. When she crosses the border, she can request approval to cross again to visit family, but they do not have to grant her that. Also, at the time of crossing, she may request a work permit of some kind. And if they do not grant her approval to visit her family, then she has to stay in the US until her permanent visa is approved. So don't stop praying for them yet! But rejoice with us. We are really having a wedding on September 13, should the Lord continue to provide! Hurrah!
