Awwww what a sweet story as well!  <3 

Hehe, yeah Scott and I kind of got in silent agreement about engagement, so him proposing was ACTUALLY not necessary. And i never wanted him to kneel, because we'd both feel so awkward hahaha.

But the way we got pre-engaged-plus-plus-uber-plus was actually funny:

He told me he had to leave Germany on a Saturday night, and I broke down crying, because we had so much hope he can stay. 
So the next day we went to a day trip to a historical king thingie here, and on the way we stopped at a rest station. Our ritual as long as he was here was getting each other a kinder egg from every gas station we stop. 
So I opened mine, and it had a little blue bunny inside... and a little yellow ring with a butterfly. I started giggling and said, dang you did good on that one: YES I DO!
And we laughed, but the look at each other told what to do. <3 
I have that little yellow ring laying here right in front of me all the time. 

So then he couldn't re-ask properly, because of the parents, and once it got close for him to leave they loosened the rule, but then it'd been a hurry. 
So after the parents meeting I was wondering if he will ever ask right lol 
And on the 2nd last day of my stay, we were coming from meeting his friends... on a crossing.
And he said: "Over there is a giant ring store. Do you want to go there with me?" "Yes, I do!"
Haha 1 hour and 1500$ later I was smiling like a retard and in desperate need of a pizza lol 

If they do lose our pics it's easily fixed 😃

Lovely story! I myself decided to stay single after my first realtionship. Focused on my studies, career and family. I ended up being single for 7yrs before I met my fiancé. I like how things turn out when you least expect it 😍

Ours is in a little plastic bag, too.. but we only clipped it to our petition  we fastened our papers.. But I didn't know I should just fastened the plastic with the papers. Oh no. :/ I also put our pictures in a ziplock. And then I just used scotchtape to put it on a page for the pictures together. Hahahah. I should've just fastened it with the papers. 😂 but I think it's still should be fine😊

You're right.. LDR isn't an easy thing.. I'm actually getting tired of this.. we've been just in LDR for four years now. We met on facebook in may 2013.. after 5 months of talking, he confessed to me and I felt the same way so we decided to date.. he couldn't still afford to visit me since we were still both young.. he was 20 and I was 19 and we were still studying.. and he moved to Chicago to live by himself and to start his career :)) so after 3 long years of waiting, we finally met last November 2016.. :)) We didn't get engaged yet when he was here but we decided to file for the visa week after he went back home. Asked for my parent's permission through messenger.. And then when he visited last month, he asked for their permission again over dinner, and I was just clueless that time since I thought there's no need to do that because we already filed for the visa, that means we're already engaged.. but was very surprised when he kneeled down and asked me to marry him.. Hahaha! Funny thing is that, before he did that, he told me to drink a couple of beers! I don't like it too much, i easily get drunk! Hahaha! So when he asked me, I was already feeling drunk.. i didnt know what to say so i just said, yes hahaha! I couldn't talk at all anymore because of the beer.  so that's our story. :))
 
i just hope we'll finally close the distance. I just hope that this process will become smooth for all of us.. That way, there will be no more thousand of miles of distance.. :)) 

No 😱 I hope not that one. -___- Good thing I gave my fiancé another copy of my passport photo just in case. but i hope they won't loose that.. as long as we all clipped it, we're all good. :)) But if they're careless and loose it, oh well 😑🙄

Thanks 🙂 I have my down and depressed moments lol,but not as many as I used too,oh yes times gone by so fast nearly at the 90 day mark 😃.
your fine being a jokester 😁

We put our passport photos in a little plastic bag and fastened them to our petition 😄

Yeah, and being able to deal with a LDR isn't an easy thing. I'm surprised by myself that I can handle that so good. But it will remain difficult, since he will have to deploy again and then I'm probably sitting in Alaska or wherever, waiting for him to come home after 9 months. 

You're doing great, Gary! And time is flying already, so the suffer is over soon!
And if I ever joke - it's never meant serious, you know that?

Awwww thanks dear! Hug back!!!
I love yours as well! 
And it's so funny - lesbians hahaha
My ex ex is now named ANNA ... nuff said lol 

Yeah, hopefully they don't loose our passport photos or so!

Wow what a wonderful story 😍this is my first real relationship 💏 I guess that's why it's hard for me to be seperated from her months at a time 

Awwww thanks dear! Hug back!!!
I love yours as well!

HA I had also decided after a couple bad relationships that I was going to be single and a crazy cat lady. LOL I love your story its awesome!  HUGS

No, we can't expedite because he's "only" stationed in the states. That would only work if he would be about to deploy. Thank goodness he got the joker card to be stationed in his hometown, in a school installation, so he doesn't have to deploy for as long as he's there. 

We matched on Tinder in... uhm... I think early 2014?!? 
I was just there to look around for people liking the same music... nobody believes me, but it's true.
I've had two really horrible relationships before, and had decided to stay single until I retire.
So we were talking, sometimes more, sometimes less, and every little thing that could lead to meeting in real was refused by me instantly.
If I had only known what a big introvert he is, and how much it had cost him to ask me if I want to come over for Taco Bell or so. "NOPE! I'M NOT ONE OF THESE!!!"

Haha, and even if there were weeks, sometimes months of no talks we never lost each other. That was meant to be... I decided to find him VERY nice and worth for a meeting in July 2015, and from that day on he owns my heart more than anyone ever did before. 
7 months later the army decided he can't extend his stay, and I had to drop him at Ramstein Airbase, not knowing when or if we will see us again. That was the hardest thing to do.
After 8 long months he settled and was able to get leave, so he gave me a ticket for my birthday and I flew "home" for the first time. 
Then we also flew to Utah to meet his family, and I was instantly adopted by these lovely people. After that we officially got engaged (we were "pre-engaged-plus-plus-uber-plus" before, because his parents wanted to meet me first ).

Rest... yeah. Waiting for my visa to go home to him and our two cats! <3 

Yeah, hopefully they don't loose our passport photos or so!

Yes yes yes to this.  If they give us RFE's its probably cause they were careless and misplaced our stuff. I have decided that is how lots of RFE's happen judging from previous months filers.

One more trip for me first week of July then next time I see her will be when I buy my one way ticket 😁🇬🇧🛫🛬🇬🇧,i don't think you'll have any trouble since your partner is in military,have you expedited your petition 😉

I was worrying about the BOARDING PASSES a lot because we only sent one 🤣 his boarding pass from Narita-Manila. And then he threw away the other ones 😝 So we didn't have a choice but to put that, we have the itinerary, and passport stamps, some receipts maybe just 3 😂, bus tickets, we sent about 20 pictures, each day he was here 😂 Although he was only here for a week, pictures with my family, too.. 2 screenshots in one page each months since we met.. we've been dating for almost 4 years.. plus screenshots of our tagged posts on Facebook, then some call logs.. I didn't put some videocalls screenshots since we stopped doing that 2 years ago.. because the internet connection over here is very poor, he becomes disappointed so we just call each other without videos. Well, I hope USCIS won't say we need more evidences 😆
 
I think we all should be fine. :))

But I have nothing lol 

I'm not seeing him through the visa process. So all I do is take a screenshot with date of our weekly FaceTime, in case they need to see continuity. And I'll screenshot the call logs for the weekly facetime.
I think the receipt for the engagement ring is here in the bag haha
I can't screenshot facebook stuff, because he's only using the messenger to chat with me, and for the rest he's a Facebook dead body. Even if I tag him he doesn't react. He hates FB and is only on there to chat with me lol 

But I talked to a girl from my area who didn't travel either and she really only had those basics sent in that we have. No problem at all. 
Seems they have certain understanding for military members, because they have a hard time getting leave.
He wanted to come visit in April but it blew, because he didn't get leave. Now we decided to wait til the end and save his leave for wedding and visiting the family, as well as my vacation days are saved for getting there earlier. 

Arghhhh lol you're killing me

Since we met each other May 29th 2016 we have talked every day since then without fail,longest time we haven't talked to each other is when either one of us is on plane flying over lol 😂 

How's everyone doing? I'm so excited to hear good news this month for us March filers! It's like waiting for an egg to hatch. Hopefully approvals will pour out this week! 

You sent way more than we sent. We just sent about 4 pictures, hotel receipts from our first meeting last December, skype call log which was 16 pages long cause we talk everyday lol, flight boarding passes and itineraries and I think that was it. We got engaged January 28th after dating for only 4 months although I first met him online almost 5 years ago now we were just good friends. He was married back then and I was dating someone online. Ironically he thought I was a lesbian so confided everything with me because I felt safe. I helped him through his divorce 3 years ago and we figure thats where it started for us although he still thought I was a lesbian. You see he knew I was dating a girl. Last September he had come back after a 4 month hiatus and I was like OMG its you and he said OMG it is and he asked how my ex was and I said who knows and who cares. He said your not going out anymore. I said no. He said hmmm and I said hey want to be facebook friends and he said you mean real facebook not our gaming names. I said yeah and he said heck yeah we have been friends for so long now. He musta stared at my facebook for ages because a day later he messaged me and said YOU'RE NOT A LESBIAN. *giggles* I said no I prefer the term pansexual thank you very much. He said I had no idea then said omg you know everything. I said so and the rest is history. We officially started dating October 2016 and met for the first time in December 2016.

Yup. 😊 I saw that when I was searching before. :)) Plus there was this group on Facebook where you can ask from the people from them.. Someone commented the same thing I read on Facebook.. I also read that in RapidVisa, too.. we were going to use that agency but decided not to because it was too expensive! 😶
But anyway, it doesn't really matter 😊 So relax.
