I am not sure if I am posting this in the right forum, if not then I apologize now.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at VisaJourney. I was sitting here reading

through my timeline and this made me reflect on the past year. When me and my wife

first decided to start our process of having a life together I found this place searching

for information on obtaining a visa. I came home from Peru not knowing where to start or

anything about the process. All I knew was that we had made a promise and a commitment

to be together.

From the beginning VisaJourney has been here as a lighthouse to guide us through this

process. A process that is never ending it seems and very nerve wrecking. You finish one

step and begin that afternoon to work on the next process. This will continue for years

until she receives her citizenship.

The love of my life is here with me now and we are married. I am waiting to go to work

in an hour, in the other room I can hear my wife whistling to the music Shahrukh Khan and

I feel like the luckiest man in the world.

But I honestly believe that we probably would not be where we are today if it was not for

VisaJourney. I can not count the number of times we have turned to this site for help or

been just browsing the site and found something to help us. We have went from K1 Visa to

AOS with this site with us all the way. Over the next few years as we continue this process

to her citizenship we will spend many hours here at VisaJourney.

I have not been a big poster and I have not contributed much to others here. But I have

filled in my timeline and wrote reviews every time we cleared a hurdle. I believe that doing

that is very important and helpful to others that will be doing these things after you.

I found the reviews very helpful and told us what to expect.

There is really no other place like this on the net. Not as organized and as informative as

this one site. I would advice anyone considering undertaking this Journey as a first step

become a member of VisaJourney. This place is the best and the members for the most part are

also. It is a place for all of us that have in common a love that knows no borders and stretches

across oceans. Love that is strong enough to stand the test of time and patients like few

experience before beginning a life together. I told a friend of mine that asked me what it

was like, if you and the other person are not serious then you would never survive the

process of this. But I think that for those of us that stay true to the dream and wait, it creates

a bond in your new marriage that others may not have. You feel tested and proven. You are less

likely to take this love for granted because you remember all the things that had to line up

to place the two of you together. You feel that somehow you have been given a gift and that

fate placed the two of you together. This we share in common here as members of VisaJourney.

Thank you VisaJourney and thank you to all the members that I have turned to over the last year

without you even knowing. Remember that when you think to post a review and it may seem unimportant.

Remember when you was searching for answers and reading every review of the consulates, poi's or

local offices. Take the 5 or 10 minutes to write the review for the person behind you that is

clinging to the same dream we are.

Thanks again,,,,,,,,,, Darryl & Abigail
