My wife doesn't know Swedish.



This is the main reason why Marco is moving to the states. I don't know Dutch. I try, and I sound like a complete idiot. (and i can't roll my tongue, at all lol)

it IS easier to move to Holland vs moving to the USA so I'm not sure where you're coming from....

the only reason we didn't go that route is because I just don't know Dutch and I didn't feel like I'd be able to get a job to help out without knowing the language.

hey guys!!

Marco had a question for any dutchies that may possibly know the answer- has anyone been able to cash in their pension funds? supposedly they can deny your request without ever saying why? we were hoping to cash his in to get some start up money :thumbs:

Hey! I'm Brittany, I've got myself a handsome dutchie! woot! :) I'm from Northeast Ohio, we met on tv.com in 2007. Next month we will have been together for four years. I lived with Michiel in Den Haag for 2.5 years. He's originally from Leeuwarden. It's so hard being apart now, after having lived together for so long...we're both just hoping that this process goes as smoothly and as quickly as possible! I do miss The Netherlands, my friends there, Michiel's family, but I'm working full-time now, we are renting a house here now and I'm just busy getting everything set up for when he finally gets to move here for GOOD!!


funny, I'm Brittaney and I've also got myself a handsome dutchie! :D

I'm sure it has to be hard to be away from him now after being together so long. It sounds exciting to live there for a few years. I went visit for about 10 days and I really loved it minus not knowing what anyone was saying :bonk:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs it just me or has going through immigration really put wedding planning into perspective?

I'm not trying to attack anyone here so I'm sorry if you feel that way. The whole point of my original post was to state that after undergoing the procedures for bringing my immigrant fiance here, I have seen my wedding from a different viewpoint. Normal couples don't realize the luxury of having their significant other in the same country let alone fussing about all these elaborate wedding preparations.

Again, that was the whole point of my post, to say that the whole point of a wedding is to legally bind myself with the man of my dreams and that I'm not involving myself with tedious details of wedding preparations that distract from the marriage.



While I understand what you're saying, I'm still going to be dressed up in a huge fancy dress looking gorgeoussss while legally binding myself to the man of my dreams. I'm sure MANY others here are going to/have done this and it's not like it's a bad thing :)

But I don't really think planning a wedding "distracts from the marriage" ... unless like you said, you're paying for it yourself. then i guess i get your point :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs it just me or has going through immigration really put wedding planning into perspective?
So far, my wedding is about $15k with about 150 people invited. This is MAINLY because of my parents, but I also don't feel like I should have to sacrifice wearing a beautiful dress and walking down an aisle at an amazing venue just because of this visa process. We set the date a good distance in advance so hopefully everything will be done in time. If not, ALL of the services (venue, cake, dj, photographer, etc.) can be moved with one phone call and we will NOT pay any extra fees since we explained all of this to them in advance. :dance:

Of course all I want is for my fiance to be here but i'm not sitting here stressing over it and saying- :i wont have this beautiful wedding because he might not be able to come here" ... i'm staying positive and believing that YES! he will be allowed in and everything will be fine and dandy. naive maybe, but we'll see.

and there's really nothing bad about having a big wedding... if its what someone wants then fine, it's what they want. who can judge and say whether it's right or wrong? it feels like people who want a wedding bigger than a few people & their fiance are being attacked here :P

I agree. The money that went through the wedding could be good a start u money as a married couple. You have an elaborate wedding but you re broke. Bright idea. :wacko:



Ever heard of family paying for the wedding? lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny August filers?

No job, yet!

I wish I had one. Getting sick of applying and not hearing anything back. :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:



I know this feeling myself- I graduated college in December and it took until late March to find a job! And I'm working as a temp (but in a permanent position thank goodness) Good luck, Marco will start job searching as soon as he gets his dang work permit. I don't hold out much hope that he'll get a job quickly :(

@KimberlyAhmed - good luck to you guys! :) more waiting games begin now lol.

I'm so sorry to hear you guys have been having so many issues! :(

@Kimberly - I completely agree with you- it's way more enjoyable and less stressful to wait while they're HERE with you :) feels good to say haha. I'm sure we will get an RFE for the AOS but at least it's finally turned in.

Good luck CADreamer.... I wish you guys well, keep us updated on your progress! :) I promise to be more faithful to VJ from now on. lol

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny August filers?
We got married on the 19th! Was a great day- we definitely had a blast. Got the marriage license in the mail Friday so we will be looking into the AOS paperwork soon. (well, we've looked into it but haven't managed to do much of it...lol. on too much of a newlywed high i guess)
Britt?MarcoFemaleNetherlands2012-05-30 10:39:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny August filers?
Nice, good job Widsy.

Wish we could have sent ours off already- my parents are really pissy about getting married early and filing sooner so we've got to wait until the 19th for the wedding. Filing soon thereafter.

Did you have a judge waive the requirement for a SS# to get married?
Britt?MarcoFemaleNetherlands2012-05-03 06:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny August filers?
Does the SS card come automatically? Or do we have to go apply? I keep reading conflicting information
Britt?MarcoFemaleNetherlands2012-04-19 06:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny August filers?
Thanks a ton Widsy :) :thumbs:

We want to get married ASAP but my mother is not even keen to listening to the idea. Our wedding is in a month- i'd like to get married sooner and file and then just have a big wedding, no one has to know that we aren't getting married on may 19! just us 4 or whatever.

anyways thanks again for the info :)
