Hello Everyone, I finally got a chance to introduce myself. I'm A.D. I live in Virginia and just feeling love sick about my finance Jim who's in Sierra Leone.

I had a chance to spend a few weeks with him last month. Had an awesome time.

Oh how quickly those days went by :( , now am back in the states and i can't wait for him to join me.

I'm new to this visa journey, so I'll love to get some advice and make new friends.

I haven't sent in my I-129F yet still trying to put it together.

I've been reading some posts, VJ guides, articles and discussions.

Aaaahhhhh, i feel that headache coming back. I really appreciate all info on VJ. It's really calming my stress level.
