Congratulations! And please keep us posted on how long it actually takes to receive the visa. I've read reports from a few days to several weeks. My Pinay and I are interested in that for sure.

Funny that you mention getting married by Elvis... LOL! http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/344979-anybody-get-married-by-elvis/

My fiance had his interview today and got approved! woot woot!!! ***happy dance, happy dance*** I know the process isnt over, but the ultimate goal will be met, him and i will FINALLY be together.

This process has been extremely difficult... not so much on the paperwork, but the fact that it tested our patience, strength and love (we were victorious!!!).

What i learned from this: a thorough research of the process from beginning to end, before jumping into this, will save you lots of $$$ and headaches. (oh and dont f^%k with the government.)

i am sooo proud of my man, but we couldve not done this without the help of this site, with all the helpful tips and posts. THANK YOU!! *shakes hands, tight hugs*

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to call Elvis for our wedding... POE: VEGAS!

Much love,

Christian & Lovela

Congrats!

Hi I'm new and also from Las Vegas. Congrats!. I noticed you filed your I-129F in California.

Hmmm, however, the new I-129F that I have downloaded only allows mailing to Dallas, TX (for U.S.Postal Service)

or Lewisville, Tx (for express mail and courier deliveries). Is this something new for the year 2012?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
