Keith and I kinda took a gamble and started looking at setting a date and booking places once we started the whole visa process. :blush: We had places booked and deposits paid before we got packet 3. It has worked out for us--although we knew we were takin a risk handing out money so soon. The contract for the hotel we booked said something about rescheduling being allowed in circumstances beyond your control (as I remember, I haven't looked at the contract since we signed). Certainly this whole process is beyond your control. I was going to try and play that card if we got delayed at all. As long as you pick a date that is believable for her to have her visa by, if it takes longer, you can explain that an unforseen processing delay is causing you to push back the date. Might work. :innocent:

Also, if you are REALLY worried about it, talk to the managers and the venues you're looking at. I'm sure some can be more flexible for you. :luv:

Good luck!

I'm in the minority here... I've been planning the wedding from the moment we got engaged....

However... we filed for the K-1 with about 11 months of wiggle room... (we will be getting married in a civil ceremony first and having the big wedding 3 months later)

We made sure we cuold move things... get our deposit back (or not lose too much of our money)....

We took a risk, but it's looking like we'll be fine, just make sure you leave a LOT of room to breathe in the process...

Good luck! :yes:
