The good news is that there isn't any fiction in this issue of W6. It finally happened. The fateful call. The call we have been waiting for with baited breath finally came. Kelli was approved.
International travel is a good thing.
The next step is citizenship. I haven't yet looked into the details of how this whole citizenship thing works. I know it normally takes five or seven years, whichever. What I don't know is whether those five or seven years have to be spent as a permanent legal resident, or Kelli's previous eight or so years as the dependent of someone on an annual work visa might count. I guess this means I get to spend still more money so that immigration lawyer can pay her valuable paralegal.
