My wife had a successful interview last Thursday in Paris, and the visa arrived in her mail today! All of you filers, have faith and do not give up hope that your visa will be approved. Check, double check and triple check your forms so that your paperwork is not delayed because of a careless mistake. I had to UPS new forms to my wife in Paris because of a careless mistake, and they arrived only days before her interview!

It has been so difficult to be apart from each other, but in the end, love is what bonds your relationship, and it will be what gets you through to the end of your journey :dance::dance::dance:

Thank you all for your well wishes! We are both on a cloud, and my wife is getting more excited now that she has this visa in her hand! This forum has been great, not only as a guide for filing the paperwork, but also to encourage all of us who have filed, are now filing, and have yet to even find this site! Never give up hope, communicate with your spouse/fiancée as if your life depends on it, and keep going forward!

Congrats! Now the fun begins. At least you will be together. Adjusting status can be more stressful than the original petition.

1/2 way thru the AOS I was kicking myself in the butte I went with a K3 instead of a CR.

Still am!

Take your own advice again!

Check, double check and triple check your forms so that your paperwork is not delayed because of a careless mistake

What visa did you end up with??

Edited by Haole

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!
