No…no Green Card yet, but they are still plodding along.
The real news is that Mariah has bought her plane ticket and will be leaving Portland the morning of April 3rd and arriving in Ireland the morning of April 4th (the 8 hour time difference makes for 24 hour travel). Hopefully I will have my Green Card before she leaves (they have been moving slower than expected in processing), but all that really matters is that she will be here.
I should be fully working by then, but conveniently she arrives just before Easter weekend, which is typically a four day holiday weekend in Ireland (Easter Monday is a bank holiday – aka a day off for everyone – and then my work closes up for Good Friday the Friday before, though it is not a bank holiday). I am taking off the day Mariah arrives and the day after as well, so we will have a good six day vacation together before I have to get back into the grind and she has to sit in line at the immigration office and then find herself a job.
It will have been seventy-seven days, seventeen hours, and thirty-some-odd minutes of being without her and I am and will be more than ready for that time to be over.
