Hi everyone! My name is Tom from the USA. My fiance', who lives in China, and I have just begun our journey to being married. We met one another online one year ago this month. It has been a wonderful and blossoming relationship. I visited her in May of 2009 and it was the best two weeks of our lives. I have prepared the I-129F and supporting documents for mailing to the Vermont center. We are both excited and hopeful for a smooth process.

Glad to be here!

Tom

Hello Tom and welcome aboard!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
