One of the big things we have coming up is next week and it is when Adam and I go in to the USCIS (US Center for Immigration Services) to finalize our marriage visa! We have done a lot of paperwork and preparation for it and our attorney has helped us gather everything. They ask for a lot of documentation and it is a bit stressful.
The meeting will take place in front of a judge and on top of all of our paperwork (such as application, copies of several forms of identification, birth certificates, marriage certificate, passports, tax forms) we are to bring proof of our relationship and love. Things like love letters, notes, pictures, proof of name change, joint bank accounts, insurance, images from our wedding/honeymoon, pictures with family at joint family events.... It will be fun to look through that stuff and decide what is appropriate to present to a judge.
Our appointment is next week in San Antonio so we will go and visit the town also. It will be a good excuse to sneak in some husband and wifey time also. :)
I am happy when this process will be over so that Adam will officially have his visa to stay permanently in the states, we can travel outside of the US again, and can have a normal marriage without different countries laws coming into it!
There is of course one downfall though... When this is done we're going to have to do the process all over again for me with the United Kingdom. *sigh* Being an adult is complicated!
