I am the USC petitioning for my financee in Japan. We met online in August 2009. Our relationship turned serious around New Years 2009/2010. I visited her and her family in Osaka in May 2010. The meeting went very well. She visited me and my family in August 2010. Again the meeting went very well. We decided to move forward and get married.
I have been reading this site for a while. Now that we are officially engaged, I signed up. We decided that the K-1 route was best for us. Neither of us wants to spend the first 9-12 months of being married apart in different countries.
