I had been posting about a Venezuelan wife but apparently I got banned by whomever because I asked about getting married and still filing a K1 visa. I completely understand that and appreciate it. That was a stupid question to ask. It was my heart wanting things to speed up and for us to be together. However, after reading and researching, I have realized that there is much more to this than I first realized and I am hoping that I can continue to be a part of this community during this journey and experience the support and wisdom that so many of you are so willing to offer.  It was very important to my fiancee that we get married but, after speaking for several hours last night and through tears and discussion we have decided not to get married. We still plan to meet in Aruba in February and tentatively plan a K1 visa, but understanding that more than one meeting is necessary. Again, thank you all so much for your honesty and candor. I look forward to sharing this journey with you and seeking your advice and wisdom throughout the process. Merry Christmas everyone.

Good Luck in your journey.  You will need a lot of inner strength, endurance, and patience for this process, but I can tell you that the end is worth it.  There is a LOT of work and waiting ahead for you and your soon-to-be spouse.....I wish you all the best!!
