But in my understanding meeting online and meeting through an international marriage broker are two different things.

That's what I thought too. We answered No also but Rapid Visa says they will require proof from the web site. This could be over kill but what ever it takes. Guess they want to make sure web site is legitimate?

Anyway congratulations to you guys as I see in your time line!

How do you have a photo together if you have not met?

We met on the first web site in November 2013 and went to the second web site in March 2014. I went to see her in May of 2014. She has been here 4 times since August 2014.

Some interesting information was brought to my attention yesterday.

In U.S. Citizen Part 2 under 2.4 Relationship: If you met through an online website, you must submit a copy of the signed written consent form that the International Marriage Broker obtained from the alien authorizing the release of her/his personal contact information to you, or documentation to establish that the website is not an International Marriage Broker.

We met on a quit smoking web site and need to get this documentation from the administrator. We also went to another quit smoking web site and Rapid Visa says we should get the same from them too because we still haven't meet in person yet. I had no idea we needed this and it would of delayed our K1 visa for sure.

Hope this could be helpful to someone.

Every state is different as said above. In Ohio you can drive legally for up to one year on your countries valid drivers license.

Wow! Agree with everybody!

Since we met we have only been apart for 3 months maximum and that was hard! Trying not to think about 6 months

We call or Skype in the morning and do the other one in the evening usually on a daily basis with texting go on all day long. Its tough sometimes as we have a 5 hour time difference between us. Shes wide awake in the mornings 10am her time and I'm still in bed 5am my time but always nice to wake up to her phone call. In the evenings I'm wide awake at 6pm my time and she is sleepy 11pm her time. Its nice to talk or Skype when we both are awake on the weekends.

Skype has really helped, we plan dinner dates where we set the laptops on the table and eat together and talk. I go shopping with my phone in hand and using Facebook messenger I take pictures and send them to her and she tells me if she likes it or not, we did this then picking out the furniture for our new apartment. And then again with the laptop on the table, I prepare my dinner with her couching and watching me make it. She is usually laughing watching me cook as the pans are boiling over! This time we are going to watch some TV series on the internet and then talk about them afterwards. Its not the same as being with each other but it helps.

Remember time never stops! Seconds add up to minuets and minuets add up to hours and hours to days

Hello everybody,

Joining this site to help us on our journey to be together forever!

Crazy how we meet, we both joined a online stop smoking forum a couple of years ago and became quit buddies, then friends, and now in love and want to spend the rest of our lives together. We were not looking for love when we joined that forum but its a crazy world we live in! I went over to England to meet her a year ago last May and she has been here 4 times on a tourist visa for 3 months each. She is here now and when she goes back in two weeks we will probably not be seeing each other until she comes back on the K1 visa. Facebook and Skype are nice when we are apart but each time we are apart it gets harder. We are planing to live here until I can retire and then move over there for a while to be with her family.This will be our last hurtle to get through but its going to be a long and nervous one. Its hard to make marriage plans when you do not know when we can get married yet!

We hope to have the K1 visa in the mail before she leaves but am getting scared that we could be missing something so we are thinking of going through a company like Rapid Visa or something like that. Hoping this forum can help us!
