Hello! My name is Sandra, I'm 32 and live in Belgium.

About 16 months ago I fell in love with Greg. We've met on a music forum and had a fabulous first date, 10 days in England together, in June 2007. I went to visit Greg in NY, Syracuse in August 07, November 07. In February 08 he visited my country and after that we flew to the US together for a visit of almost 3 months. We officially got engaged May 3rd and filed the paperwork for the K1-fiancee visum to get married in the US. We got our receipt with our number, dated May 16th. This is our story in a nutshell. I signed up here because I'm curious how others go through the waiting-process and also because I have numberous questions of course ... And this seems like a good place to start looking. :star:
