Thanks for your reply, seems like the worry of being separated will last a fair while longer though :(

Not yet, I just flew in to the US about a week ago.. as money isn't exactly in abundance but we're hoping to begin with the next week or so - hope that's not too much of a delay (so as to appear as lack of commitment).

After being seperated for a year being together again has taken a near surreal flavour :blush:

Thanks, best wishes on the upcoming wedding :)

Can anyone help detail the cost of filing for AOS or point me in the right direction?
