Progress has been made…

This week we got some really happy news! I was checking my email Wednesday morning and there was a message from CRIS, so I opened it and it said that my petition for the K-1 Fiancee Visa had been approved! It was such a huge relief to see that. I called Sharon immediately but her phone was just in the other room, so I had to wait til she got home to tell her the good news. She was so happy, and we both jumped up and down and danced around the kitchen for a while haha. It is really nice to get an update and know what is happening after such a long period of uncertainty. This makes it so much easier to wait. The long part of the process is now over. The next step is to fax the approval letter to the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur so that they can open a file for our case and we can start sending in the required documents so that when they receive the approval notice from USCIS we will have a head start. Then we need to go in for an interview there before we can get the Visa. We have been thinking more and more about a good date for the Wedding, and the place as well. We are thinking (tentatively) somewhere between April 12 and April 17, but maybe the following week instead.
Anyways, aside from that our week was good. It really flew by. Just one more week until it is Chinese New Year, which is a really big thing here in Asia. Sharon will have a week off so we are going to Sibu to be with her relatives there. Usually for Chinese New Year, they have TONS of fireworks and it is also customary to buy a weeks’ worth of new clothes before hand so that every day of Chinese New Year you can wear something new. So anyways, that is going to be fun.
We are still alive and well. We went out to eat at Soho’s last night, my new favorite restaurant here in Miri. They have really good food, a good atmosphere, and the price is right.
Work this week has been a bit busy, but it’s also been satisfying. I have a lot of new ideas floating around in my head, just have to find the time to chase them down and make them a reality. I have also been working on my new business website, which is not done yet but I will post the link here when it is (hopefully by next post).
I love all my family and friends (you people that are reading this). Until next week… Bye bye^^
