My husband, Dion and I got married in Bali on January 19th and applied for his IR-1/CR-1 at the embassy in Jakarta. I am happy to say that after his interview this week, he's approved and will be picking up his passport/visa at the embassy next week! I booked his ticket for March 24 and I'm just overjoyed that we won't have to be apart anymore. It's been a very long engagement! :)

Then tonight I learned from this website that he doesn't have to file for permission to work or to leave the US. This is excellent because I'm a musician and going on tour soon and wanted the option of taking him with me but didn't think it possible. Another positive bit of news! Also he has several hiring prospects, so they'll be happy to know he can work right away!

Thanks very much to the people who run this website. You are godsends. I was so confused about his visa until I read the information about the Direct Consular filing for non-residents. That's what we did but up until now all the info I found was based on K-3 and not this rare form of filing, so I thought we had a lot more paperwork ahead of us!

Best of luck to the rest of you,

Eve-Natasha
