Visa in hand!

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Well, it's been a long road, beginning back in August of 2010, but my fiancee finally got her visa & brown envelope today. Just wanted to say thanks for all the good info, encouragement, and sharing of ideas and humor along the way that all of you here at VJ have made available for us. Our journey was longer than some due to my deployment, but 17 months after starting, we should finally be together in Alaska.

Good luck to all of you who are still waiting, all I can say is... fill out your forms correctly, make sure your I-134 has an original signature (not printed & scanned, we tried, but they looked for indention on the paper of an original signature), and above all, don't fret. It is a SLOW process, to be sure, but just be patient. After all, you probably went many years not even knowing your spouse-to-be, so what's a few more months, right? LOL, who am I kidding, it sucks, doing it the legal, slow way. But in the end, it WILL be worth it, I can assure you.

Congrates on a Long Process and Patience. All your efforts will pay-off in your smiles together. Tim/Mav.

You think she will notice the difference? +35°C in PI to -40°C in AK?? :D I am NOT buying her an electric blanket, she will just have to cuddle me for warmth!!

DEERS will come later, after we get married, right? Don't want to rush it, I need to make sure she is a good cook first, huh?

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

Yup, I already have kids on DEERS, so just a simple update to add her once we are married. But it's only for a couple of years, til I retire...

Congrats. Although at first you might be the one keeping her warm, but I get the feeling its her that is going to drag you outside when that first snow fall comes.
