So happy!!! :dance: :dance:

After 5 months and an RFE due to an absurdly stupid mistake on the form, I just got the e-mail tonight that they

sent the approval letter out today. Can't wait to receive it!!

Thanks everyone for all the help I've gotten from visiting this site. Now comes the next part, I have to put

the affadavit of support package together.. good project for this weekend :star:

On a side note, I just read a thread where the poster asked if they could have a religious ceremony without having it count

against their K1 visa. My fiancee is from Taiwan, and it's customary there to have both an engagement ceremony and a wedding.

We were planning on doing the engagement ceremony at the end of this year, regardless of whether the visa is approved by then

or not (although hopefully it will be now!).

The thing is, we were kind of going to count it as our wedding celebration also though, considering that it's expensive and we don't want to have a seperate wedding later. Is there anything wrong with this? there's no religion involved in Chinese weddings, and we're not going to get any kind of certificate. And really it's just the engagement ceremony..

Thanks for the help!
