Hello everyone!! :D

Just thought I would drop a line and say that Christine, the woman of my dreams (L) , and I finally got all our information and documents together for the I-129F petition. She mailed it this morning, and soon to be expecting approval for my K1-Visa interview.

Since the time we got engaged, we looked into the whole process of what is involved to being able to live together. It took a lot longer than we anticipated. After some quick research on the usual USCIS websites, getting the I-129F form...filling it out, we noticed there is a lot more to it than we expected. Everything was very confusing for us both and the instructions were not exactly to the point which left us with a lot of questions on what to do on certain parts of the application steps, etc etc.

Thankfully, Christine found VisaJourney.com. This resourceful website and everyone's experiences and advice made EVERYTHING much more clear to understand and took alot of the stress of the unknown away.

So I would like to say thank you to all the members for your help and sharing your stories. And to Visajourney.com for this great tool to help people in Love be able to be together.

And now WE get to be part of it too, and hopefully our story will help others as well. :)

Sincerely

Bryan

PS: I hope this is the correct forum to post this topic.

Yes, patience is something I am learning a lot about now. Being strong is hard at times, but having the love of your life to lean on, and vice versa and supporting each other, is what Love is all about anyways.

Good luck to you both as well. :D

Oh the frustrations were already driving us crazy. And we only just begun. But the bigger picture always seems to help us get through the rough parts, as well as each others support. The guides are so very clear and to the point. Don't know how we would have kept our wits without them.

We wish you both all the best in your great Journey of Love as well.

Cheers,

Bryan & Christine
