Good luck on your journey. You'll find many here to support you during the wait. Try to think of all the things that need to get done before your love arrives. You wouldn't want a dirty bathroom to spoil your time together. Ha, ha!

Try to have some fun while you wait, get to know some new friends on VJ and learn patience.

Congrats, I hope it all goes smoothly for you!

Relax a little bit first and then start preparing for the next steps. Inform your employer of the letter stating your employment that you'll need and ask how long it'll take for you to get it from them, so when the time comes that you need it your employer will already know about it. Click on "embassy info" up top and find your fiance's embassy or consulate. See which forms the embassy will send him in packet 3. Have him download those forms from this website, fill them out, print them, and stash them somewhere safe - then when he gets packet 3 in the mail he can just copy the info over and not have to rush around to gather everything. The DS-230, for example, requires that he list his last 10 years of employment - that could take some time and thinking to put together. It'd be better to take the next few months to do that at a relaxed, no-pressure pace than to rush rush rush later. Write snail mail letters back and forth and keep the envelopes, which show the return address and the postmark with the mailing city and date. Store and organize your e-mails and chat logs. Keep and organize your phone bills. Learn what he'll need to do for the police certificates so that, when the time comes, he already knows what he's doing. Have him get his birth certificate translated into English, if necessary.

You get the point. :lol: Maybe it's just me being paranoid about it all, but me personally... I'd like this process to go as fast as possible. Why sit like a dead duck for this processing time and then not know what to do when the next stage comes when I could use the time to prepare instead? :) Besides, it makes me feel less jittery and helpless about the visa process.
