Need Your Opinion, Pls

So, I'm on the phone yesterday talking with MS about my trip to Istanbul in July - where to buy the wedding rings, buying things we want for the house, maybe travel a bit.

Then he suggested that he come to San Francisco in July instead. I would LOVE that!

But I silently worried about the I-129F at CSC and the embassy in Istanbul and how blinkin' slow they are under the best of conditions. Perhaps applying for a Tourist Visa might muck things up good, and really slow down the K-1 approval.

I'm going nuts as it is - just waiting as everything moves along at it's normal lightning turtle pace.

Please advise! Thanks -

MS in Istanbul

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful replies!! Hearing from all of you helped confirm my thoughts. I called MS this afternoon and told him the gist of what everyone had suggested we consider. He agreed that it's best to hang tight and wait for the K-1.

After work tonight, I met co-workers and we talked about the trip to Istanbul in July. Several people encouraged me to speak with the boss about PTO in April or May. The idea never crossed my mind, and now I am really excited by the prospect !!

Thanks, again, to everyone!
