My husband is Liberian.  He was born here in the states when his parents were here going to college.  They returned to Liberia when he was 1 years old.  In 1990 he was evacuated from Liberia by the US due to the civil war.  He came here at the tender age of like 14 and lived with a cousin.  He has not seen his family since 1990!!  We have been trying since we got married in 99 to to get his mom here.  We have ran into roadblocks.  I finally within the last year got proper guidence on what forms to fill out that will be more appropriate and easier to get her here.  I filled out the Petition for Alien Immigrant Visa and sent it off back in like July or August.  I just got email notification that on Sept 12 the petition was approved!!!  I am so excited.  Even B doesn't know yet. He is out walking with no cell phone.  I need to wait for the approval form to come in with additional instructions. I know we have to prove that we can financially support her.  With my income involved we will be able to do that.  I am so happy!!!
