Re: I-130 London / Vermont

Thanks for that. As you say, 6 months is quick compared to many, and I can only imagine what being separated for that length of time would feel like. It is just that London used to be a lot faster,...

Thankyou! That was just what we were needing to hear.

Re: Starting the Green Card Process

I'm getting there. You're all being very helpful.
