K-1 Visa Approved

Timeline

Our visa has been approved and now Ana has the much coveted, highly sought after seal of approval. I have waited for this day for so long. I finally have the permission of our government to get married. Oh thank you Mr. and Mrs. United States of America.

I can honestly say that we had to jump through more hoops than a dolphin to get our visa. We patiently waited for so long for this day. We started gathering documents in January and now at long last we have almost reached the finish line. Now it's time to get married.

Ana's trip to the consulate took her on a 12 hour bus ride to the US Embassy in another country because her country does not process k-1 visas. She had her medical Monday and passed with flying colors. She had her interview Tuesday and was approved. Now she is feeling sick and has to wait overnight to get her visa because the consulate had some computer trouble.

Not to worry, she will be home in Moldova soon and I will be jet setting there to spend some time with her before we fly back to America to get married. I am so excited right now. When I have time I will post photos from my upcoming trip to Moldova.

I wish everyone the best of luck and want to thank everyone on VJ for there help. I could not have gotten this far and remained partially mentally sane without your advice.

A very big Congratulations !!!! May God bless and see you thru the rest of your journey !!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
