What would we do without Visa Journey?

[diadromous mermaid 36]

Hi,

It may be a stupid question but I was asking myself, how would we do without VJ? I checked the USCIS website but I can't find any guidelines nor anything about how, for example, a K1 VISA works and what needs to be done, etc. Maybe I didn't check well enough but I don't think anyone can find clear instructions, except the instructions that comes with the different forms but you can imagine how difficult the whole process would be if that's all we had.

My point is that I don't know how my wife and I would have done without this website and we're still in the process and I know I will still need you guys as well as this website. I just find it absolutely unbelievable that the USCIS website doesn't provide these information. But again, maybe I didn't search the website well enough so if you know where to find guidelines etc on USCIS, just let me know, out of curiosity...

I got lot of help from VJ, especially its guides and members' experiences which made our process easier. Members like Aussiewench (Lorelle)

Hear, hear. Shame that VJ STILL can't stomach the idea of acknowledging her contribution to others' immigration process, isn't it?

When WILL that link to work again, I wonder

1. Solely read the form's instructions.

2. Pull hair out

I have a love-hate relationship with VJ.

What I love about it is that for just about every aspect of the application process I have found the info I need or at least a starting point to look elsewhere. I honestly don't know how well I would have fared without it. I have found a lot of support here from people going through the process with me and also from people who went through it long ago but take the trouble to answer all the panicky newbie questions without ever judging someone's lack of knowledge or fear of the process.

What I hate about VJ is that I'm aware sometimes that it has become an obsession. I spend far too much time on here than I should. And like others have said, I'm sure sometimes it is just serving to fill the time whilst I'm waiting to be with my fiance. That's why I really respect the people who have stuck around to help others. I don't know whether I can be that unselfish once I'm with him again.

Yes, I noticed that when I tried to post a link in a thread here with the purpose of pointing someone in the direction of kitkat1. Shame really. Both sites can easily work in harmony. I don't see what the problem is in saying you can get really good waiver advice on that particular site and be able to post the link. Bad form in my opinion.

Reminds me of a messy romantic relationship break up, where one party "just never gets over it" and the other sails into the sunset all whole and emotionally stable

Oops, we just turned a thread about the wonders of VJ into a thread about the wonders of FBI

Ditto! we would have made so many mistakes without VJ, we didn't know where to start! we also had a lot of misconceptions, for example, we thought the fiance visa requiered having known each other for at least 2 years, and that because of that our only option was to get married in my home country, and then separate for the process (which we didn't want to be separated after being married).

and regarding FBI, I've looked around it, I think VJ is far more user friendly... and more fun

VJ/ VJers, you rock!

VJ should put out a 'tip jar'....cuz they (and the people on here) helped save me several thousand in attorney costs through the use of the guides and practical advice of their constituents.

Lets see...what is 15% of several thousand???

Peace to all!

I just clicked the FBI link and it works. Lorelle is really a great person. She would reply your question with a great details. I wish she is still at this site. VJ newbies would have been benefitted, if she were here now.
