Congratulations to all the couples that got their approvals :thumbs: . Me and my fiance has been so busy lately but we were finally able to gather all the needed docs except for the CENOMAR (which he will obtain on July 6). He's scheduled to be interviewed on July 8.

We are almost at the "lock, stock and barrel" point where there is nothing to do but wait for the day of May's flight to arrive.

Her visa arrived yesterday. She goes to the DFA/CFO next week. All is running well.

Hooray!!

We are completely finsihed with the paperwork aspect of out K1 visa journey. From I-129 submission to the CFO Sticker. All we have to do now is wait the 32 days for May's flight (which will be more difficult than it sounds).

Thanks to all of those who have answered questions, asked questions I didn't but reaped the benefits of the answers, and those that gave words of encouragement and support.

Adam & May

P.S. At least we get a little rest before we start the whole cycle again for AOS. To quote an Elton John song,

:whistle: In the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune

It's the leap of faith

It's the band of hope

Till we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle, the circle of life :whistle:

Hi guys!

Sorry we haven't been very active on here for a while. We didn't have any news - until now!

Yesterday I phoned the embassy info line as it'd been 6 weeks since my packet 3 had been signed for and I hadn't heard anything, and they gave me a code to use to email the embassy because I'd been waiting over 4 weeks. Today I got a reply, and my interview date has been set for 10th August!!!! Such a relief!!!!! :dance:

We're both sooooo happy, things are finally moving along. Looks like I can actually send our wedding invitations out now - I hadn't dared write them until I got my date! lol.

Hope you're all doing OK!

Oh My Goodness! Page 4? It has been this long since someone has posted.

More than likely the reason is many of us are already with our special someone.

For May and I, we are down to our final 7 days apart. She had a fun sayanora party but ended up getting sick (prayers please).

Nothing serious, it is just making her feel miserable.

Still have some cleaning to do on my end. Doesn't help that I will be working 10 hour days this week.

Congrats to those who have been approved since my last posting.
