Hi, all!

Just curious to see how many of you with approved visas or that will be approved soon, are meeting your fiancee/finace in their home country and traveling back to the US together, or will be awaiting their arrival in a US airport?

Moving this from the K-3 forum to the Moving here Life in america forum. The K-3 forum has to do with filing I-130 and I-129F to USCIS.

And yes I traveled to China to be with my fiancee for the interview, and we traveled back home together. This has the added bonus of baggage, I went there with 1 bag, and returned with 2 bags.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

I will be travelling by myself to the US. There's no real need for my OH to fly here and then fly back with me. I suppose it would be different if I had never flown before.

Technically - we've never traveled internationally together. As much as I love Germany - I wasn't about to fly there just to turn around and fly back - Karin managed just fine by herself... A personal choice no doubt. :thumbs:

Definitely a personal choice. I would have like to make the trip together but instead, opted to meet her at LAX and drive her and he daughter the thousand miles home while we saw some of the USA. This instead of them overnighting in LA before continuing on.

Yes I do understand that, especially in todays economy. I will be going to Cambodia and traveling back with my fiancee. She has never flown before and coming from asian countries can many times be very challenging to say the least!

Hey, that does still sound nice! A great way to welcome them to the US by showing them the sights! Good job! :thumbs: I'm really looking forward to showing my Solika the sights!

Hi, all!

I'm flying there to pick her up, since I'm from Philippines anyways, this is a good excuse to see my family again. Plus, I want to spend some time with her family before she leaves, since my home town is only 30/mins away from her home town...

Costing me more.. but for me, worth the trip as we both come from the same country and our family is there as well..

*04/23/10 - GC recieved in the mail!! d( -_-)b
*07/30/12 - ROC Approved!!
*08/08/12 - 10/yr GC received in the mail!!
