Well ladies and gentlemen,
It is now official. I can move to the States and live and work there legally.
The process of getting the paperwork together and mailing it in, and waiting for the final interview only took a year from the time we got married (we celebrate the 1 year mark on Monday). Yesterday we went to the US Consulate office in Montreal, stood in lines, waited for numbers to be called and spoke to a few different people. One woman, i'm sad to say, did not enjoy her job and showed in her (lack of) customer service. However, at the end of it all (4.5 hours later) I was granted my US Visa. For security reasons, they couldn't hand it to me in Montreal, so it was going to be printed yesterday and mailed either yesterday or today and we should have it either tuesday or wednesday. Once we get it, i'll have to cross the border with it to make it official, but other than that, we're all done!
We are so thankful for your prayers -- especially those for a) making them let me in and b) patience. It has been quite the journey, that's for sure. And now we look forward to our move south and set up home in only one home in one city in one country -- no more of this doubling up stuff. That's for the birds.

Hey! Congratulations! I'm glad that it all went as smoothly as you'd hoped it would... er... at least the last step of the process.
It really was good to see both of you--hope that you find some other excuse to swing through Albany soon!
-Eric
