Today Michael received his visa in the mail! He booked his flight and will be back in the US in 4 days! I can hardly believe it! It will be almost exactly one year since he left. This K-1 process has been so long and emotional that I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or shout out loud!

It will be wonderful to have him back! I'm also a little nervous. We're had a relationship for a year through telephone calls and skype! I feel like its our first date all over again! I'm so grateful that our wait is almost over!

Congrats!

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS
