It's here!  I finally have it!  My USA visa is in my hand!

After six months of waiting, an endless mountain of paperwork, countless hours spent researching the process, and a couple thousand dollars thrown at it, I finally have legal permission to go be with my fiancé in the United States!  Much rejoicing!

After proposing in January, Kelsey and I agreed the best way forward was for me to move to live with her in Los Angeles.  And so we set about the next stage of the process: getting permission from Uncle Sam to do just that.  And believe me, I am not exaggerating the demands of this process: its a long and expensive wait with heaps of admin.  But none of that matters now, because we're going to be together and live happily ever after, just like in this photo taken of us at Disneyland.  Aww *smug* aww.
