Case was approved! We are in utter disbelief at how quickly it happened (we were told 2+ years since we’re newlyweds). The Lord Jesus is so good - our Redeemer lives 🖤

GC approved

Hello Guys, after almost 5 years of waiting I finally received the notification I’ve dreaming for. (case was approved) I am so happy and greatful, but at the same time worried because my husband didn’t have the same luck. I received a RFE for medical about a month ago, but he didn’t. I sent my medical exam last week and today the case was approved. We both wished so much for this day to arrive. It breaks my heart that his case is not moving at the same pace. I am praying he will get his approval soon. Has anyone gone through this?
