Been a VJ lurker for years and i'm finally throwing my trepidation to the wind and plunging into all this paperwork! I've got everything in front of me for the fiance visa - i just hope i don't mess this up!
A little about me and my honey... I'm Sarah and my Handsome Canadian is Simon. We met 8 years ago, and been "engaged" for 5 years now! We fell in love instantly and I couldn't ask for a better friend! We visit eachother as much as humanly "and LEGALLY" possible. Have been working together to build a beautiful home here in the little mountains of Alabama! Now we just gotta make all this legal so we can start the next stage in our life!
Thank you for all the collective knowledge! Visa Journey is going to get me through this!

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
