June 2008 Filers!

Hi Anixter,

We are in a similar situation and are having our wedding June 28.

If you think it will be processed in December, you should be fine. You get 6 months to move to the US and then an additional 90 days from the moment you get your passport stamped in the US (if I am not mistaken).

What we are doing, is Peter will move to the US in mid April, so that we will have our wedding still as planned.

If you move to the US in mid March or later, you should be good to have your wedding on June 6th.

Hi Susan,

We were planning on having me move there 2 weeks before the wedding to help finalize everything. I am going to work until the last week of May to be in a better financial position when I do make the move. Given that it will take a few weeks/months for the AOS and work permit to kick in, we're trying to keep that window as small as possible! Otherwise I'd jump at the chance of going there sooner to be with my gal!

I may move that up a little bit depending on how things are going with the preparations but she has an army of relatives there that are looking forward to her getting married that they're all giving us a hand which is absolutely phenomenal.

We were thinking along the same lines, that Peter work for as long as possible and then move over, so we can make some money in the mean time (especially since I am still in college, graduating in May, and am pretty broke haha). The reason he is coming in mid April though, rather than later, is because he wants to be here for my birthday, see me graduate from college, do last minute wedding planning, plus my parents want to get to know him much better (and they would have a hissy fit if he didn't come that early, but that's just my parents lol). But I definitely know where you are coming from, and I think your timeline will work out just fine, it will be close, but not that close. I wouldn't be worried.

But man, wedding planning is a ton of work. That's great that the relatives are helping out! We are trying to do bit by bit, but it can certainly get overwhelming. Good thing we are only having a wedding of around 50 people! haha

they would not know the meaning of the word stress, try being on the other side of the fence, when they go home to spend the weekend with their loved ones and we are left here longing to be with them making do with e-mails, phone calls etc when all we need is a hug
