Hi Everyone,

I have just registered and wanted to say hi to all of my fellow visa applicants. I have found out ton of useful info here and save me money on hiring a lawyer. I will be filling for K1 Visa to bring my fiance here from Bosnia. I will keep you all posted on how this process takes me since this is my first time filling something out like this. Good luck to all of you out there going thru the same thing as I am about to go.
