I'm glad I found this site. I've been looking at it for a while and am just now deciding to register and continue to use the forum and all the great information.

I'll be filing an I-129F form sometime in the (I hope near) future....and I'm completely nervous. After a lot of back and forth, finally decided that we'll do this process sans an attorney. Lots of people do it on their own and so can we. (That's what I keep telling myself lol.)

Little bit about our story:

We basically were both part of an online gaming community (aheh geeks I guess). And what started as a friendship became a full on international relationship. I think after a year of knowing each other, there's been two days we haven't talked via skype. I got to spend a wonderful holiday in Croatia with him and his family...and now we're planning to get this visa process rolling.

I guess I'm a bit nervous over the fact that we met online and are still a fairly new couple. But everyday is a discussion of the endless things we'll get to do together. I love coming to this site to see all the encouragement and success stories. I think it eases my mind a little.

As I start getting all my paperwork together...I'm sure there's gonna be some questions I have. But for now...hi :)
