Sarah!

Fantastic News! You and Pervis are truly blessed (though His blessing came extremely slow in your case!)

Your patience and love are a wonderful example to the world.

God Bless You on the rest of your VJourney!

in all this excitement it finally hit me what do we do now?

sara

First off, congratulations!!

To answer your question all of this is available on VJ but you may need to go to your benificiaries Consulate web page. It will describe how that consulate does its business. They all have some differences.

You need to get ready for the interview. Like a previous poster who answered this question from you, it never too soon to start to have the benificary get together all of the materials that will be needed for the interview. What happens is once the case goes to the consulate that will decide on the K1 visa, they will send a packet to the benificiary. This is packet 3. It has instructions on what you need for the interview and will tell you that when you have all of those things to send a reply (enclosed in packet 3) back to them and then they will set up your interview. That is why if you start collecting these documents now, by the time you need everything, you will have it. Once you send the response to the packet 3 list of what you need to get your interview appointment, you will get your interview appointment. Usually this takes place in the country where the benificiary lives but your case has gone on so long from what I am reading, perhaps you two are already living together. In any case, once you reply that you have your packet ready, you will get packet 4 which has a couple more forms and most importantly your interview date and time. It will also give you places to have the physical exam. I suggest that you try to be together for this. The benificiary can use the support. It is not just a one day thing. There is the physical, the interview, and in most cases a short wait for the visa to be put into your passport. Not all Consulates do it the same way. Where we had it done, they collected a fee and when it was done (3 days) it was mailed to a post office near the Consulate so we ended up staying in the city where the consulate was for 7 days. Much longer than I thought.

Congratulations! After reading other posters' comments, I realized that you are well known with many sympathizers. I had to read your timeline and I was absolutely astounded at the bungling incompetancy you have encountered. Even more astounded that you have not seen each other in over 2 years! How do you manage to survive such a separation? I also noticed many posters here with timelines of 4, 6, 8 plus months since a last visit. How do all of you manage that? And is the reason for such long separations strictly one of finances? I guess we are extremely fortunate that I own my own company and I can literally work from anywhere as long as I have a high speed internet connection, so I have more flexibility than the average person.

Does anyone know if there is a thread about the topic of "How often you see your significant other and the reasons behind your timeframes?" I would be interested to read that. Despite being on line in skype with Dora twice a day and talking on the phone in-between, I am hard pressed to be able to wait more than 6 weeks between visits. I can't necessarily afford the frequent visits, but I make them anyway.....

BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL, BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DONT MATTER AND THOSE WHO MATTER DONT MIND

YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT YOU CAN RUIN THE PRESENT BY WORRYING OVER THE FUTURE

TRIP.... OVER LOVE, AND YOU CAN GET UP

FALL.... IN LOVE, AND YOU FALL FOREVER

I DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, JUST NOT THE ABILITY

LIKE THE MEASLES, LOVE IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES LATER IN LIFE

LIFE IS NOT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE, ITS THE WAY IT IS

I MAY NOT BE WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT IM SURE NOT WHERE I WAS
