K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Curious about how long you've lived with SO.	this is an interesting thread.......I have a couple of comments.......... 1. I was married before for 26 years....I was 17 knew him for 4 months and never lived with him before we married had 5 children but grew up and apart.......so I think many factors enter into a marriage happiness and longevity other then whether you lived together or not 2. I have spent 121 days in the 2 years I have known Oscar living together.....I do think when you are like us......older and more set in your ways....Oscar has never been married....I have been divorced for 2 years.....It is a little more important to spend time getting to know each others personal habits....likes ....dislikes....but with the 3000 miles between us the reality is that this is a very hard to accomplish.....so then it becomes a matter of love hope and a little bit of your willingness to risk	OsLoraTamm	Female	Peru	2008-03-19 22:07:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	oh people plz plz pray for us	I know that waiting can be so hard. But what I've learned over the years is that everything has its time and reason...looking back on my life, timelines always made sense in some way, even when I wasn't able to see it at that time. Hang in there, your time for joy will come soon, too. In the meantime, try to find out what fate is trying to tell you... All the best of luck, it can't take much longer from now!	mnieto	Male	Germany	2008-05-09 08:11:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February Filers!	I called twice in the end! Once on the 14th and they told me it was recieved that day, and once on the 16th and they said it was sent on the 15th! 15 mins later I got the email I had almost zero waiting on both calls. 1st was about 4 mins (Total call was 6 mins 30) second call was straight through! Haha, that rocks!! I always waited long enough to get the message where they kick you completely off the system when I called during the days and at night. I can't believe I waited 30 minutes on hold at my credit union though.. I didn't even get through! I just got tired of waiting so I hung up. At least with NVC they kick you off when it's a long wait. Then you don't think, oh i'll be talking to an operator soon, so I'll just wait. And 30 minutes later you're still waiting! Woah. I tend to ramble.	serendipitous	Female	Australia	2007-03-17 00:28:00
