Well, I had to come home to start the paperwork to get her over here. CIS rules state that I couldn't start the process there so, for the last 14 (going on 15) months, my wife and I have been apart as I wasn't able to get the time or the money to go back to Indonesia and visit with her.
We haven't been together all this time and the only contact I've had where I actually see her face is through a very wonky connection via Skype.
Everything I made from my job was poured into the paperwork, putting aside money for her plane ticket, medical, transportation to the consulate in Jakarta for her interview and having to support her.
I am happy to report that finally, at long last, she is 23 days from coming home. All that has to happen is her interview and medical screen.
