We have finally gotten everything together to put in the correct paperwork to petition to get Alberto here! This isn't really a huge post but just a way to mark the milestone and let our friends and family in on our progress. Now all we have to do is sit and wait. It is not a guarantee and we have both heard of horror stories of couples who were told they were not legally married and the "alien" spouse was denied access into the US. I know of a couple friends myself. We have both prayed about it and believe this is the right path to take and that is should work out in our favor. If you would like to help us prayer is probably the most important thing to us right now.
If you are curious about the petition that the US government requires to file to get an "alien relative" here I have included the link to the petition called an I-130.

I will continue to provide updates as this goes along.
Thank you to everyone who has expressed and offered their support and prayers already.
