I am new here. I am an Australian man planning on moving to the USA to get married to my fiancee in 2015. I am here to get little tidbits on what other people have done (or are doing) with similar goals in mind.

This is my fiance folks. So what questions do you have Doctorsheldon?

It can be a little confusing at first, but as long as you stick to the guides here on VJ, you can pull it off unscathed! Good luck :)

Welcome to VJ. It's truly a wealth of information for learning what to do & how to do it. I am an Australian also, I had my interview 2 weeks ago, have my visa in my hand now with a flight booked for 2 weeks time. Very exciting, but it took us FOREVER to get here! I wish you much luck in your journey and if you have any questions, feel free to ask! good.gif

Doctorsheldon is my fiance. Sorry he didn't post any questions yet. He's often busy with school at the moment. He's trying to finish his degree. I'll see if he has any questions, and tell him to post them accordingly. Time zones can make it hard to communicare sometimes. 14 hour time difference, whew!
