We were in Memphis this week for the immigration interview that should have given John his permanent residency. We got someone who apparently is making it his life's work to put fear and uncertainty in couples like us who are just trying to do things legally and by the book. It was a hard trip.
We have to wait now. We will get a letter after this guy reviews our file (life) again to determine if he will be approved or denied. The interviewer went so far as to tell John that if he was denied, they would come pick him up and send him back to England. Naturally I was sitting there crying my eyes out at this guy's cold and heartless demeaner and the way he acted as if our life was in his hands and his alone. Needless to say, it was a long 10 hour drive home.
John was fine. Well, ok, he did try to put diesel in my car after pulling into a gas station on the wrong side of the pump and taking the keys out while it was still in drive...first time I ever saw him visibly shaken.
Just having to wait now.
Guess we will be getting something in the mail. An envelope. A letter. News from the government telling us if we will be allowed to continue to live together. Gotta love the government.
