Fernanda and I met working at DisneyWorld in December of 2010. On Christmas I asked Fernanda to be my girlfriend and she happily said yes! We have been approved for the K1 visa and are now awaiting Fernanda to come to the USA with it.
UPDATE!!!!
September 9th 2013 we mailed away our I-129F packet for Fernanda to get her K1 visa. December 31 2013 I asked Fernanda to marry me while we were on the beach in Brazil (It was my winter break from college). She said yes and then we were excited to take the next steps. In June 2013 Fernanda was approved for a K1 visa interview in Rio di Janeiro. However, we requested an extension because she had her job and I had college and we were not ready to live together just yet. So we got an extension until August and then Fernanda and her dad flew to Rio to the interview at the consulate. Fernanda was so nervous and studied everything about me and they pretty much just asked her simple questions like my name and then she got approved. Then the next big thing was where would the wedding happen, Brazil or USA? We decided to have it in Brazil in January 2014 which was within 6 months after receiving the K1. So we got married and my mom and brother came with me to brazil and had the most amazing disney inspired wedding ever! Then we left and flew back to Orlando FL together and are currently waiting for the EAD work permit. Fernanda is currently going insane from bordem as she cannot legally work until we receive the work authorization card. Luckily we have waited over 70 days since we mailed away for it and have got it ordered! At least that is what it says online. Once that is finished we will celebrate with lots and lots of Mickey bars.
