My Swedish patience will surely come in handy

[Mr. Borkström 63]

Hi guys! New board member here. From Västerås, Sweden. My wife lives in Pittsburgh, PA. We got married this summer here in Sweden.

Glad to make your aqcuaintance.

Welcome to Visa Journey!

Hello and welcome! Has your wife filed the I-130 petition yet?

[gandacel 7]

Welcome and have a smooth journey

[Mr. Borkström 63]

Thanks guys.

Hello and welcome! Has your wife filed the I-130 petition yet?

She has indeed! From what I understand it was forwarded to the California Service Center. Yeah. Probably the service center in mainland USA that's the farthest away from both PA and Sweden. lol

My wife created a profile and a timeline on here a week ago, roughly. Is there any way I can incorporate that in my profile?

She has received some sort of receipt that they have accepted the I-130 and payment and stuff...

Excellent! I don't think there is any way to transfer or link into other timelines, but you can just copy the dates she's put down in your own.

I hope all goes well

Welcome. My USC wife and I will be moving to Florida in two months. We will be back to Sweden a bit for the first few months though as we have yet to sell the apartment and ship everything.

Mr. Borkstrom,

Welcome. Though the process can try one's patience, based on your fluency and courteous manners (and extrapolating to your spouse), I can tell that your application will move along without issue.

Best of Luck,

Thank you. I'm not taking anything for granted, and I am keeping my fingers crossed. But I hope/think there shouldn't be too many problems. I truly love my wife with all my heart and I feel she feels the same way about me. Our marriage most certainly is a real bonafide marriage, so I'm hoping my application for residency is mostly a technicality. I have nothing to hide, I have no criminal past etc... I have high hopes of being granted admission to come share my life with my wife and her family in Pittsburgh.

I have always had a talent for English. Personally I wish I was better at it, but I often get compliments. When I visited my wife last summer (2010) several people wondered whatever happened with my accent. I'm not that good, though, but I get by alright. The yinzer slang will offer some challenges though, I fear.

Welcome to VJ...

I married my Swedish viking this summer in Sigtuna! He lives in Uppsala and I in Virginia. I have filed the I-130 and still waiting for approval! So I am here in Uppsala, keeping each other warm!

Happy holidays!

[EmigratingSwede 16]

We're in Uppsala too!
