I had a wonderful week with my baby in Mykonos. He is working soooo hard.

We got a change to talk about everything (missing our deadline for the K-1 application, being away from each other too long, stress, etc.)

So we both agreed to forget the K-1 and get married in Athens. Once he leaves Mykonos in September he will get everything ready for us to apply for the marriage license.

Wish us luck this time around. Hopefully everything will go more smoothily for us this time.

Yas!

Welcome back!

I am confused, missing the K-1 deadline? As your timeline suggests otherwise.

Can you explain?

What if the K-1 gets approved? Like in the next few days?

Think about it, you are so close!!!!!

I had a wonderful week with my baby in Mykonos. He is working soooo hard.

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

10-16-06 Flt to US, POE Detroit

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

We are going to do the K3 instead. We just want to be married and when I am there I will grab all the papers we need and come back and start the process. I would love to live there but we agreed to give it a shot here first. If he doesn't like it, then we will move to Greece.

hey B, great news :) Hope you had an ouzo lemon for me, I forgot to ask first!

You should def. have a look at filing your I-130 in Athens (DCF)!

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Arriving in America, The POE Drill

Dual Citizenship FAQ

Other Fora I Post To:

alt.visa.us.marriage-based http://britishexpats.com/ and www.***removed***.com

censored link = *family based immigration* website

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Met, married, immigrated, naturalized.

I-130 filed Aug02

USC Jul06

No Deje Piedras Sobre El Pavimento!
