Hello Visajourney world !!!!!!
First and foremost I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been there since day 1 to help me with every single question and concern. I cannot begin to explain how appreciative I am of you guys, and of course, of the existence of this forum which has made my visa process for my fiancee (K-1) 10000x much more attainable!!
Secondly, SHES COMING OCTOBER 5th !!! YES!! Our interview went superb (read consulate review) and she is receiving her Visa on the 5th of October, to which I already bought her plane ticket that DAY !! I CANNOT WAIT !!
Lastly, because of her coming to the United States, more importantly, a predominantly caucasian/english speaking city/state (Clarksville, TN), it will be much harder for her to adjust than say my hometown of Miami, Florida (mostly hispanic/latin decent). Does anyone have any wise words, tips, or perhaps any guidance towards reading material on how to establish a warm welcoming for her?? Books, personal experiences, stories, anything would greatly facilite her transition into the American Life.. American MILITARY life :S..
Again, THANK YOU ALL AND GOD BLESS ! !!!!! WISH US LUCK !!!

Hello everyone!
Well, don't know if my question was asked before and I did try to search and read several posts, but didn't find any of my nature. Basically, my fiancee and I want to get married by this year (December) "hopefully" if we can get the filing back quickly (I hear being an officer in the military expedites the process due to proof being much easier to validate?)..
Well my question is the following:
I would like to have my wedding in Nicaragua though not "Legally" in Nicaragua so that I can apply for the K-1 via the U.S. I understand that if I get a legal marriage in Nicaragua I would have to go through a whole different process of paperwork (confirm/deny please?) and I'd like to deviate from that. However my fiancee is telling me she believes that I need to do it LEGAL, but I doubt that since I know of a friend who also did a wedding/reception there without having to do any legal paperwork of Nicaraguan nature.
The reason I would like to have the real wedding in Nicaragua and the Court-style wedding here is because she has all her family/friends and while myself, I only have my immediate family with me (Mother, sister, grandmother and uncle) my friends have either been deployed or stationed in other countries and the rest are off in their own world (studying, getting married, etc..) so I see it much more fitting to have the reception in Nicaragua and simply fly my family there.
If anyone can comment and/or contribute their information or experience, I would greatly and wholeheartedly appreciate it.
Thank you,
2LT Lee, Javier
