I am in celebration mode! I got the magic stamp on my visa today that says, “Retirement” and a date in September 2026 to renew!!!!!
I AM LEGITIMATE!!!!
4 months of jumping through hoops – then waiting – over and over came to an end this afternoon. No fireworks went off. No balloons in the air. No parades. No bands. Just happy tears of relief cascading down my face.
I still have to do 90 day reporting, in October, as Brian does, but that’s pretty much routine. I will need to renew my visa next year, but that is not NEAR the hurdle it was this time.
The only thing remaining on our visa issue is the acceptance of Harvey’s extension on his medical visa for another 90 days.

We are arranging for my son to have a ‘vacation day’ tomorrow – free from any responsibilities. A day to meditate, sleep all day, relax, regroup. He deserves well more than that. He’s basically been pumping adrenaline since he flew from Thailand to Arkansas to help Harvey and me when we were both sick and I almost died in February. All this has taken its toll, and it’s time to arrange for a lot of down time whenever we can arrange it until he feels really good again.
A day for celebration!
