K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsATTENTION JULY FILERS!
QUOTE (Jeraly @ Oct 4 2007, 11:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Oh I know it can be crazy - especially the summer months... unfortunately when we come back for our UK wedding celebration it is going to be next summer most probably (end of June) and we just can't book that at all yet which is annoying - we'll either have to go for a mid-week or just pick through the leftovers biggrin.gif


yup...and then it will be all in a rush and some people that we invited to our wedding might not even be available for those days, everybody is from a different part of the world and it just sucks...I think if we have to change our wedding date, we will just get married with a witness in the 90 days they tell us to get married in cuz trying to gather family from different parts of the world isn´t that easy...

I would guess it extremely easy to look back in hindsight after you’ve done all your waiting and say that once it’s over you’ll forget all about the stress….but try and remember how it felt when you were the one going through the stress.

Yeah...I can easily look back and remember everything about how it felt cuz it wasn´t too long ago... Honestly..didn´t even bother getting excited about our petition that was sitting somewhere in a file until like 3 months from when we sent it. Then we kept awaiting an approval every day although the approval was still far away and we had no clue when it was coming. And when people who filed after us got approved, we were happy for them. Then one day, we got approved too...and we were happy that we got approved. November was there and there were still people who filed before we did (in May and earlier) who were still not approved...and they were happy for us although they already needed their approval so bad...

I agree.

Watching all you folks wait so long last year certainly helps put my wait to even file now into perspective!
I'm just so happy to see Vermont flying now and at least some life out of California.

Hopefully I can hold onto that once we've filed and we are in the 'waiting room' with the rest of you. Knowing we wont have to endure what many of you folks did will certainly help us wait. wink.gif

Hehe I looked at your timeline and are you actually planning to send your petition on 15th April? tongue.gif So unusual biggrin.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsTaking a break
It´s been like a month and a half since you sent your petition unsure.gif I don´t think it´s time to worry too much about it yet. I know people keep getting approved so fast these days (2-3 months). Last year USCIS was trying to drive us insane. There were lotsa people who never even got NOA1 until 4 months from sending the petition. And NOA2? That was just a far away dream. 6-8 months of waiting for most of us yikes wacko.gif At that point we were cheering for every single approval and were glad if whoever was approved (people after us, before us, around us, everyone). In September, VSC like almost completely stopped approving all K1 visas and noone was getting approved for a while at all. Don´t wish for anyone to have to go through that again.
Don´t give up that easily good.gif Keep your head up and stay positive smile.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

That's great news! Congratulations.

You're very lucky to get it so soon.

Yeah how weird is that? People who filed like in the middle of last year had to wait for their approvals till like Nov, Dec and now a lot of people who filed in January this year get approved in March...I am certainly glad for them. Though for a lot of people it was a very painful process last year and it´s interesting how fast things can change...

I think there are a lot of relationship stressors that you are not aware of until you are actually living together, such as financial issues, your social lives, coordinating your lives, what to cook for dinner, what to watch on tv laughing.gif I don't think being in a long-distance relationship where you haven't lived together or in the same city determines how well you know each other, I think it just means a different sort of relationship dynamic. In my opinion, living with someone always changes the dynamic of the relationship - be it your best friend, roommate, family, SO or spouse.

Well these kind of things aren´t a stressor for us at all....I guess we have a good level of communication...also if one of us wants to do something he/she gets complete support from the other one...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCurious about how long you've lived with SO.
The quality of the relationship doesn´t depend on if you lived together before or not. If your friends (or whoever it is that keeps discouraging you) don´t understand that, it´s their problem. You don´t need to apologize to them for living your life and being happy. Not sure if lack of support here should necessarily mean they don´t want the best for you. Cuz maybe they are just worried about you. But I think if they were real friends they would like to meet your SO, get to know them and be friends with him/her too...
