Yes it can work out

[BruceH 0]

It has been more than 3 years since I started visiting this board as I tried to understand the immigration process to bring my (then) fiance (now wife) here to marry on a K-1 visa.

I thought I would post on the K-1 board my experience briefly since this is the place most of us begin. I just want to offer some words of encouragement.

I met my wife in Brazil almost 4 years ago (through the internet originally). We dated internationally as most of the people here do as they build their relationships. During that time we decided to marry, we started the process and within a few months (we were fortunate it did not take too long at that time) She came over, we got married, did all the nonsense necessary to get her Green Card and in May of this year filed to have conditions removed so that she could receive her 10 year visa. She intends to apply for citizenship as soon as she can next year.

She and I are very happy, she's going to school to become a nurse and we have a great marriage. It is not that there are never problems, but there are in any marriage. You just get through them and work together.

So....for whatever it is worth, things can and will work out, at least for many people.

Just wanted to give all of you encouragement since it is a lot of effort - but worth it!

Is she getting her Associate Degree or Bachelor Degree in Nursing.

If she is US educated she only needs a Associate Degree to be a Registered Nurse in USA.

Glad to hear a success story like yours!

We are still working on making our dream of being together true.

But I am sure at the end of all these past months of worrying, dealing with family members that don't want to support us because they feel 'left', coping with USCIS and job loss uncertainties everything will be worth it and paid back by unforgettable moments together.
